I fail to see you logic, please elaborate on that. Why should I care
what 5 other people are running when I get a better bang for my buck
with a technology I use, costs less and provides me a means to
contribute back into the community pool.

yes, but there is technology shortcomings there, it requires me to
invest in Windows as a base OS, which in turn means a lot of other legal
and vendor lock in issues.
Anyway, I think the point is made, Vmware is by far the most locked in
product out there, offers medium to low performance compared to other
similar products, however has a lower user ability threshold to get into.
