Hi Andre: I just >>admire<< anybody that can handle that kind of situation. I think in any case it would serve the product much better if we looked around for others and get them involved - instead of trying to do everything single-handed (make it double-handed, one hand for each virtual machine;))
I live off a major software product, and I know from experience how much an uninitiated, off-the-street, casual user can unearth in his or her first five minutes of running the software. It's awsome ;). Just takes another brain. I think I better get now to the testing board and keep the bandwidth free- for more important stuff. regards -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 12:34:10 +0100 Von: "André Schnabel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [email protected] Betreff: Re: [qa-dev] 2.1 Vietnamese testtool results > Hi Vito, > > Vito Smolej schrieb: > > hi Maho-san: > > > > What are the reasons behind working with VMware -besides trying to do > > everything on one single physical system?
