VT support, drool....
It works *really* well on the Intel Macs.
Does anyone happen to know if or when it is fully supported by Xen...If my understanding of these things is correct then full VT support would allow you to run an OS in Xen without adding the Xen kernel extensions to the guest.
The basic VMware Server I believe also has a limitation whereby there is nothing stopping a careless or malicious user on one of the VM's from causing havoc for the others by doing something silly like forkbombing their machine.
I believe even the GSX version does this as well - to limit stuff like that you'd have to fork out for the ESX edition.
Yes I think that is the case, the way I understand it the new free (as in beer) Vmware Server is more feature complete than the old GSX version which has now been depreciated. Most of my VMware experience has come from the Workstation Product and GSX server, Although I have briefly played around with ESX I haven't actually got around to playing with the free one yet.
