1. Beta expires in November.
2. Release version should ship RSN.
3. Extremely stable.
4. Larger memory requirements for guest OS (win2000 => 96M).
5. NAT networking added.
6. Big virtual disks (>2G).
7. Most annoying glitches are fixed.
I alpha-tested for them. It's been a great evolution of the product, and I
strongly recommend anyone who can afford to upgrade (dunno $$, I get the
release free) to do so. It's quite a good product.
FWIW VMWare is the ONLY commercial software package on Linux that I own or
reccomend.
