Sounds good thanks, except the 30% overhead for debugging, what's up with that!! :)

One thing that people are complaining about though is that it went to a web only interface like Virtual Center. The nice part about it is the people who use/know vc this is an easy manageable interface. The people who don't complain about its kludginess as compared to 1.0x. I think the reason for this move is because 2.0 is manageable by VC. This means if you have esx boxes and free vmware server boxes in your environment you could manage them through a single web interface that is VC. They might end up releasing a free VC in the end to manage vmware server, which would greatly reduce the learning curve for those people who are in vmware server and migrate up to esx. Just a sales ploy IMO, but more free products, whos complaining? 2.0 forces debugging mode on, which takes about 30% of your resources on the box. Basically making any 2.0 beta production box down to useless. It also wants to convert your drives to the new version. Conversion is pretty simple but going back requires some daring keystrokes on the .vmdk directly. I think when its ready it will be a good product. New support for o/s like e2k7, win2k8 etc will likely be in there. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
