here is something that would be useful :

let people boot their Boot Camp partitions via virtualization under OSX. see... then you could CHOOSE to either boot completely into XP... or if you just need to check something quick you could boot the partition in a window under OSX without having to quit all your OSX apps and shut down first.

that's an actual feature i think would impress people. otherwise it's 'just like Parallels... well... oh you can use other VMware images too.' ... oh. wow. watch me not care.

I guess immitation really is the sincerest form of flattery.

]]> <![CDATA[VMware Beta For Mac]]> I'm guessing this is just for intel macs, right? And does this mean that VMWare Workstation for the PC will also run OS X?
