There's been a few examples already of software dealing with quircks in emulation/virtualisation environments: 1: emm386 auto-excluding an UMB region if running inside VMware. 2: UIDE's /E switch as an attempt 3: JEMM's NOINVPLUG setting And ofcourse there's a way of detecting virtual machines by backdoor ports or very specific 'hardware' (VMware SVGA adapter for example). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
