WHY???? - The installation is 300MB, 3 times larger than VMware Server 1 - Speed in configuration UI is 10 times slower: feels like browsing a really *slow* web site - Interface really UGLY: you can't even move dialog boxes, look & feel 10 years back (try it to believe it...) - Even the dialog box to select my DVD-ROM image is so terrible, I can't change to drive D: !!!! - Depends on a functional browser, functional plug-ins, and functional TomCat: why increase the probability for something to go wrong??? I've been religiously attached to VMware for years, first software to install on any new computer, advertising it to friends, university colleagues, etc. Now I'm disappointed big time. VMware is not a little tiny applet to make a blog fancy, neither a quick & cool service (e.g., YouTube) whose success lies on uniform browser-based access. It's usually *THE* main application on computers it's running... or one of the few *main* ones!! VMWARE DESERVED ITS OWN EXECUTABLE... Can't believe they go all that way to restrict it in a browser!! Can't believe VMware made that mistake!! WHY WEB-BASED ???? WHY????
