Well, I'm not going to go and throw out my VMWare just yet, if that's what
you mean...[grin]

But it is very nice to see an open source project making such progress!

The only Windows front end I've seen was "Qemu Workstation" and that's
rather out of date and doesn't even work with the current daily FreeOSZoo

I knew Fabrice was important, but  wasn't aware that he was doing most of 
the core stuff.

Yup.  That's one of the reasons I'd prefer an opensource product over 
VMWare.

Thanks.

That does explain a few things.

So basically, there's no roadmap or schedule for features, etc.  And it's 
basically going to be a "free for all" for the foreseeable future.
