VMware

New PC Build

I just ordered some parts for a new desktop.

  • Intel Core2 Quad Q6600
  • EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 nForce 780i Motherboard
  • 8GB Corsair DDR2800
  • EVGA Nvidia GTX260 896MB Video Card
  • 500GB Seagate SATA disk
  • LG SATA DVD Burner

I plan on installing dual booting Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit and Vista Ultimate 64 bit.

It should be a real screamer.

VMware Fusion 2

While VMware Fusion 2 is a step in the right direction, I really wish that VMware would offer a product for OSX that has a comparable feature set to VMware Workstation.  VMware finally offers support for multiple snapshots, but now they neuter it by not allowing branching of versions.  Another issue is the inability to "Power off" a Windows VM, it simply tells Windows to "Shut Down".  I would love some more advanced networking features in VMware Fusion, such as the ability to forward ports to various VMs behind the NAT.
