* The Open Virtual Machine Tools (open-vm-tools) are the open source
implementation of VMware Tools.
* The tools are currently composed of kernel modules for Linux and
user-space programs for all VMware supported Unix-like guest operating
systems. They provide several useful functions like:
- File transfer between a host and guest
- Improved memory management and network performance under
virtualization
- General mechanisms and protocols for communication between host
and guests and from guest to guest
Link: http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/
My take:
Virtualization returns as the next thing for datacenters and personal
computing, with the help of Bootcamp, C2D CPU's, barebone systems and
with some players been acquired (Xen). So, everyone wants a piece of
that, even embedded on hardware [1].
