[Sussex] VMWare

[Mark Harrison]

AIUI , Citrix NFuse doesn't REQUIRE IE/Windows to access it...

... However, it's possibly to set it up so badly that it does :-)

Chaps,

Despite me recently writing off VMWare as too expensive for migrating businesses, it looks as though I am going to have to buy a copy (for various reasons, but mainly to stop me having to run a dual boot machine so that Sarah can work at home - her company use Citrix NFuse which seems to _require_ a Windows machine running IE in order to work - v.sucky ).

One question, http://www.pcbooks.co.uk/ still have copies of VMWare express for sale at less than half the price of VMWare Worksation 3.2.  What exactly are the differences?  I'm happy to pay the £265 required for Workstation 3.2 as long as it provides significant advantages over the old VMWare Express product.

I've got a 30 day trial of VMWare Workstation 3.2 running at home right now, it is coping admirably running Windows NT4 and Plan 9 as required.
