mature as VMWare (this is not my own opinion, just go and ask people
that are involved with Xen); and the fact that VMWare Player is
available for Windows. Like it or not, many people are still stuck with
Windows for professional reasons (me included); having a VMWare
compatible image would allow me to use and test it during the day using
the same PC that I work from. Also, evaluating Ubuntu would be easy
also (no need to reboot the PC, ability to freeze the image at will,
etc..).<br>
