As I say before: juste do it... I can also program a very basic GUI to just start and stop the emulator=20 (event that will require more that 5 minutes for sur), but this basic=20 GUI will be nothing like VmWare GUI is. Understand that the price is=20 also not the same. This is the first point I find wrong in your original=20 say. The second point is that the kqemu, qemu and a GUI are different things.=20 You can start today a separate project to make a proprietary GUI that=20 use qemu at it backend. So you can maybe get some money of that=20 operation. Fact is that all contributors to qemu will never see that mone= y. So there is a probability that someone start a Open Source GUI that will=20 trash for sur your proprietary one. This is also this risk that just=20 take Fabrice with kqemu. And what?
