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! > Fabrice didn't do the Windows version port, someone else did it and I > think Right.

Yup. That's one of the reasons I'd prefer an opensource product over VMWare. > other "sexy" stuff. For now - it's Fabrice "show" and others > contributions.... > > Hope it helps, Thanks.
