Oh, to be young and naive again. Microsoft bought Connectix purely so that they could produce Mac versions of Office by dumping Office into VPC, and get rid of their actual Macintosh developers, because it was pretty embarrassing to the Windows side that Office looks and smells better on Mac than on Windows. Microsoft has no interest in selling you a Virtual Server. If they buy VMWare, it will be to kill it. Adam
