EMC/VMware Spin-Out: New Shareholders Get Virtually Nothing

I'd like to point out that Microsoft's virtualization package isn't expected to support any operating system other than Windows.

I use vmware on my laptop to concurrently run Ubuntu and Windows. Most people wouldn't do it, I admit, but that is where your personal computer usage comes from.

Oh, and vmware is currently heavily pirated if any of you didn't already realize as much.

As you may be able to discern from my comments I have no opinion about whether vmware will succeed as an independent company. I think the product is solid and the market is much bigger than your think but I counter that with the knowledge that MSFT is embracing virtualization and there are other people out there competing with vmware for the Mac market.
