    Reviewing 2.0 Build 84186 Beta 2 (Apr 7, 2009)

    The user interface is bad, slow, unusable, memory hungry, the download is huge 10-20 times bigger than other virtualization solutions.
    It don't work properly in many browsers, is not integrated at all in the system's look and feel, don't use standard system's dialogs making managing the VM incredibly unintuitive and uneasy, it annoys users with many requests and does not prompt some show stopping critical errors the user need to know.
    It does not even work properly with 64 bit guests, and the clueless interface doe not allow users know why.
    This is the worst virtualization software eve made, the worst user interface ever appeared: please VMware, give euthanasy to this horrible thing and release a decent 3.0 version, even a pre-pre-pre-alpha one with a real GUI and CL interface is welcome!

    VMware Server v2 has really gone downhill since v1. The new web interface is very annoying and sluggish. It's really too bad.

    VMWare Server 2.0 (no longer beta) is plainly not usable.
    The web interface literaly sucks (one for all: no context menu), the link pick up one of the installed browser (even if it is incapable to run it properly) and refuses to be opened with alternative browsers, the program stubbornly refuse to run imported VM, it gives silly error messages with no clue how to respond to get the VM run.
    They broke the continuity with a great virtualization software, sorry but this is the last version of VMWare that I allow to waste my days.
