Review - VMware Workstation
2.0.4 (May 26, 2001)

This program rocks. I can use my windows only dye-sub printer from a vmware session without rebooting. Try that with win4lin. Ram is cheap upgrade. VERY STABLE. does not require a modified kernel. Workstation runs fine with FreeBSD host.

For 55$ you can call and ask Microsoft to help you with your spell check problem. If they cant fix it you are still most likely out $55. Can you fix it? But if you read your EULA you cant blame them, or point a finger at them. They told you up front that there are NO guarantees of fitness for anything.

I program a lot "~$80k :)". Do I work for a software company? No. I work for an Insurance company. The GPL software we make does not affect the profitability of our company, because we don't sell software we sell insurance. Do we make GPL software? Yes, we consider it and investment, and over the years have received many returns.

Once I have .NET I will only need to turn my networked PC on, all the applications I will need are there for $19.95 a month. Why on earth would I go and buy your software?

GPL is about freedom. It is about your rights. You are willing to sell your rights and I understand. But do not sell anyone else's.
