nice going!

Forget the servers, parents will pay bucks to anyone who protects their PCs from their kids. The scenario would be a home pc with vmware running on a restricted account. The kids have administrator privileges in the VM so they are free to pollute it with their games while dad's work is safe, maybe in another VM. what I think is a great want for VM technology is the possibility of playing games inside a VM.

Currently I am running over 100 VM’s on nine 4 cpu servers a mix of production and test/development. Sure sometimes you see the performance hit. But 90% of the time the VM runs fine. I can talk for hours about the benefits but just look at it simply 90 less servers at 5K each. How much electricity does it take to power 90 servers for a year? How about cooling them and supporting them? I can claim to have saved well over a 500K. Without having to go into any of the other benefits of VM’s. Like portability ease of deployment backup DR bla bla bla……… I have been using Virtual technologies for the past 2 years.

I've refrained from running VMWare Server on the company-issued laptop of mine because of the perception of it to be uber slow, and have been running all my VM stuff on my desktop.

Now that you have written this post, I think it makes things clearer to me about its uses, etc. I don’t know much about VM.

It is but a marketing device to get people to buy ESX + expensive EMC storage! Is it hard to believe that VMWare Server is free beer?
