At a first look & feel it's very good, but I've noticed a side effect (if it can be called so): VMware4 Workstation ------------------- 2.4.22-pre[6|6aa1]: ~ 1 minute 02 seconds from: Start this virtual machine ... 2.4.22-pre2 : ~ 30 seconds from: Start this virtual machine ... ... to start up Windows 2000 Professional completely. Well, personally I don't care about the slowdown of vmware startup with a VM but there may be many other slowdows?! ciao, Marc
