VMWare Workstation 6 released today!!

VMWS has finally gone out of beta and is released today. With this version, VMware's support for Windows Vista moves from "experimental" to mainstream.
Personally I am most looking forward to these new features:
Debug applications in the guest OS, attach to a running process, and revert to a snapshot after the debug session has ended with Visual Studio and Eclipse integration
(this one is a KILLER feature!!)
Invoke any virtual machine command from scripts to automate repetitive tasks with VIX Automation API (QA loves this)
Enable remote users to connect to virtual machines from VNC clients with built-in VNC support
(Nice to have)

I didn't notice until now that vmware supports simulating a multimonitor environment (even on a pc with one monitor) -- this could be very useful for people wanting to test multimon setups.

So now you know what happened to your other card.
You're going to have to be more careful!

How is the performance of the latest VMWare vs VirtualBox? I use VB for a few test VM's and found it the simplest to setup and fastest.

IMO Vmware has a great deal of work to do before they can best the
free
VirtualBox. They can add all the gimmicks they want, but they're going to have to cut down on that sort of junk to appeal to the masses.

InfoWorld did a comparative review of VMware WS 6.5 vs. VirtualBox 2.0 in September 2008. You can read it at:
