What can we do to get it out there a little more?" I tried it yesterday and installed Ubunut Linux. The install went ok but I had two problems: 1. The Broadcom network card in the workstation didn't like the Virtual Network driver so a guest OS can't use the host NIC. 2. Ubuntu didn't like the 30" LCD screen. I can understand #2 but VMWare works fine with the Broadcom NIC so I don't know what the VS 2005 issue is. I wonder at what point did they say “We’re not gaining any ground on the likes of VMWare.

That's got to be a good sign. Despirately so. :mrgreen:
