I used VMWare on RedHat and SuSE up to and including to kernel 2.4. The
product is indeed very well working, and indeed quite expensive. Since
then, I just switched completely to Linux native applications, so I
don't use any Microsoft product since years. No recent experience from
me so.
I might consider using it again to test interoperability between Samba
3.0 and Active Directory without having to purchase a dedicated
computer... But 189 USD is close to a dedicated computer... (you have to
pay for the licence in both cases...)

Hi,
I am currently evaluating VMWare workstation 4.5.2 running on
Slackware 10 as a host, and Windows XP as a guest. I am impressed how
smooth everything ran up to now, and seriously consider buying this
piece of software.
Has anybody got some experience with this? Maybe on a 2.6 kernel,
other Linux host distros, other guest OSes?
Also, the price tag is quite high - 189$. Do you know of any reseller
who offers the same at a lower price?
Regards,
