Hum maybe that can be useful for some people, but why should RHAT be the
people providing it.  It's only quite recently IIRC that vmware made a
free (not Free) player.  Anyone with the full vmware paid-for can
install their own test OS.  Hm look Dec 12th 2005

So the FC3 -> FC4 thing couldn't've been done anyway for folks that
didn't have full vmware and they're the folks that can do an install
themselves.

Also in vmware the guest OS gets a fake set of peripherals that is
always the same, it tells them a limited amount about compatibility with
their physcial hardware to run the thing in vmware and physical hardware
support is where many problems seem to be coming from.

Vmware question is like flash (Macromedia type of flash) again, not sure
why it's Fedora's business to be doing proprietary content production
free player or not.
