Thats not true, I just dont have any use for either of them and noone I
work with does either. Joseph, you are letting your imagination run away
with you.

I'd be happy to have you over my place and we can do some real world
performance testing in server roles. I'd also be happy to show you
exactly how mediocre the vmware platform appears to be in some real
world deployments.
vmware have been around for a long time, and they do have a usable
product and it does do loads in different incantations. But one thing
its not good at is SME virtualisation. An area they know well, and
something they are quite concerned about.
btw, as might not be clear to some people, I dont do Windows
hosts/guests so dont know what the issues there might be. My experience
is purely based on Linux centric stuff.
