JC, my favorites is my positions. Now what would you rather have? an NT server to bridge to window apps or vmware to run a vitual machine locally. I don't want either sucky idea but this is some news for the Corl faithful... HP's Linux customers gain flexibility from free VMware software newsalert.com "Hewlett-Packard Company and VMware, Inc. today announced initial results of their joint promotion of free VMware software on HP VISUALIZE PL450 and XL550 Personal Workstations for Linux desktop customers. According to HP and VMware, approximately 30 percent of HP's and VMware's European customers took advantage of the offer in its first month, December 1999." "VMware software gives Linux users easy access to multiple operating systems running concurrently on a single computer, offering the benefits of increased flexibility and stability. This means that customers buying high-powered Linux workstations can retain access to the Microsoft Windows applications they need. HP's decision to offer VMware software further expands the development of Linux as a high-quality operating system that meets the needs of a wide range of highly demanding applications." "We believe that the nature of computing is changing in such a way that desktop flexibility will be a key factor in the growth of the industry," said Marc Bothorel, HP VISUALIZE Personal Workstation product manager, Europe. "At HP, we want to be at the leading edge of this growth, and offering VMware to our Linux customers takes us one step closer to achieving this goal." Tom Watson tosiwmee
