  • Hello All,

    We are currently looking to recruit trialists, for a trial of a new Internet Browser Toolbar. The trial is scheduled to begin around the end of June and will run until everyone has completed their script.

    There are however a couple of requirements you need to be aware of:


    *We only require trialists who have Windows 2000 or XP (if you have
    anything different please advise)

    *We are only looking for 100 trialists mixed across all tiers, so
    recruitment will be done on first come basis.

    I hope you would like to participate in the trial, and if so, please reply to this mail to advise.

    thanks
    NTL

    And if you don't get the joke, proper clue can be gained, as usual, by reading the Jargon File. As everyone should know by now.

    well - i wont be using 64 bit guest OS (for now atleast)

    i was wondering... does fedora work now?
    #6.1 ThunderRiver on 13 Jun 2004 - 21:41
    pay attention to the word "host" NOT "guest"
    #6.2 nw_raptor on 14 Jun 2004 - 13:07

    This new update.. is also targeted for Longhorn WinHEC 4074 build in case you haven't gotten a clue...

    i was referring about fedora here is the complete changelog
    VMware Virtual Disk Manager
    You can create, manage and modify virtual disk files from the command line or within scripts with the VMware Virtual Disk Manager utility. For more information, see Using VMware Virtual Disk Manager.
    - Experimental support for 64-bit host computers
    This means you can install this release of VMware Workstation on a 64-bit host computer that uses an AMD64 Opteron, Athlon 64 or Intel IA-32e CPU. Virtual machines you create on these hosts have 32-bit CPUs and can run 32-bit guest operating systems.
    - Experimental support for Solaris guest operating systems
    This means you may install the x86 platform edition of Solaris 9 and of Solaris 10 beta as guest operating systems in this release of VMware Workstation. VMware Tools is not available for Solaris. If you want to run the guest operating system's X server, you may do so in 16 colors.
    - Experimental support for SUSE LINUX 9.1 guests
    This means you may run SUSE LINUX 9.1 as a guest operating system in this release of VMware Workstation.
    - Enhanced VPN support over NAT
    VMware Workstation now supports PPTP over NAT.
    Solaris users come back to the family! (and please, please: someone develop a new unofficial VMware Tools for Solaris 10...)

    Update: I just tried a Windows Server 2003 GuestOS inside new Workstation 4.5.2. It seems much faster than before. Even faster than a real machine. Comment this post and tell me if I'm the only one having this impression.

    JCAP, I wasn't targeting you. In fact, I was just reminding "everyone" that visits this post since LH wasn't mentioned anywhere in the change log.
