Vmware Workstation 6 beta

[bsobel]

Just got the beta email on Vmware Workstation 6 beta. Vista host support (moved my main machines to Vista, missing workstation right now!), headless support, and multi-mon support (something I've been bugging them for since about 04)

"headless" support? You mean headless chickens can now use VMs? (If it wasn't clear enough, I have no clue what that is.)

Getting ready to download it myself, although the server version works fine for me. I'm just curious.

The VM will run in the background without the VMWare Workstation GUI running on the host machine.

I think.

I think it's the technical term for 'fool-proof'.

Exactly.

What about hardware accelerated 3D for guests? I understand that's one of the big features planned for Parallels next major release, is VMWare even considering it yet?
