I'm sure you're all aware of this program and I'm just about to set it up. My question for the knowledgable is this:
Since I've already setup a dual boot (one XP partition for fun and one XP partition for work), can I just have VMWare boot the other (say boot "fun" inside of "work")?
Also, what settings are advised?
Like for these options:
Bridged Networking: the virtual machine connects to the local network using the same Host's network card. It is necessary to assign to the Guest valid name and IP address, so it will figure out as a real machine inside the LAN.
NAT - Network Address Translation: in this mode, the virtual machine can access the network resources but does not have its own IP address, which identifies it on the external network. VMware sets up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) between the virtual machines and the Host system.
Host Only: the easiest way to put Guest and Host in communication. VMware creates a direct network link between the two machines, similar to using a "crossed" network cable.
Or
1). Create Virtual Disk
2). Use existing Virtual Disk
3). Use physical Disk

Well, I dont think you can boot your "Fun" Partition in VMWare. As far as I know you need to set up separate installs within VMWare and Im fairly certain it cant do anything 3D game wise.
As for the network settings, I'll leave that to Bob, he knows the settings far better than I do.

Ah, bugger.
Well, then I might as well just nuke the "fun" partition and install the VMWare version physically onto that one.

I will look into it for you. I recommend installing and seeing if you can point it at a hd partition, I would link that you could.

They have a contest going on:

$100 000 to $200 000 is nothing to sneeze at.

From the creator of Xen comes a desktop replacement:

My question is, what the devil are its internals? Just that one chip?
Unlike thin clients, the Pano Logic device does not use any software or even drivers, so executives claim that it cannot be infected by malware. Moreover, the device virtualizes I/O, so that end users can plug in a USB device or printer and use it over the network.
...
The Pano Logic devices contain no CPU, no memory and no OS; they include audio-in and audio-out ports, as well as three USB connections, a VGA video connection, 10/100 Ethernet, and a power connector. Inside each device is a custom Pano Logic chip that manages the virtualization.
That Pano Logic chip must be a processor of some sorts. Not necessarily an x86 one, but saying the device doesn't have a cpu seems a little bit sweeping to me.

One would think that operating an office full of these things would lead to enormous server and network lag.

I guess it depends on how one classifies a CPU. This unit could have a control chip similar to what Intel has placed on its LAN Cards. I would not consider this a CPU in that it is impossible for it to process anything other then network data. This chip would be similar in that it displays pictures and send I/O input to the NIC.
As for the Network congestion. If they are using something like NX it would have little impact. Most companies are using less efficient methods with little Network impact.
