Next in line is 64-bit CentOS 5. The major need for Windows would be very active use of Adobe Acrobat 8, Photoshop CS3, and Illustrator CS3.
There may also be the need to copy/transfer information among Matlab, Mathematica, and Microsoft-based applications, from Office 2003 to the above-mentioned ones.
What does Adobe have to say about running these apps on CentOS-5/x86_64 ? heck, do these things even run on Linux at all ? I suppose you can locate alternatives....
OR, do you really intend to even run these apps on that box of yours ? or are you only looking for virt abstract layer ?
Do you support these, and how complete is your product line for 64-bit CentOS 5?
pretty complete I would say....
