VMware Workstation 6 is a hypervisor, software that lets a workstation run multiple operating systems and applications on the same physical machine.
Workstation 6 supports Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista as a guest or host operating system. It also displays an image on multiple monitors, which is important for users in financial services, computer-aided design and other environments. Workstation 6 also features the previously announced ACE Option Pack, which allows a user to store a virtual machine setup on a portable device, such as a USB drive, to transfer to another computer.
The aim of all the upgrades is to improve the usability of a virtual workstation, said James Phillips, senior director of software life-cycle solutions at VMware.

NVY, you wouldn't happen to know if it now supports 4 virtual processors would you? I didn't see anything in the change log. I currently have to run 2 instances of Linux SMP on my quads instead of just one because VMware server only sees 2 cores. I'd gladly pay for the Workstation app if it does. 
This is of interest to all that fold.

This is of interest to all that fold. What if you ran two instances of VMware? I wonder what the performance would be like.

It doesn't. You would have to buy VMware Infrastructure Standard for 4-way. It's $4,000.

I'm running 2 instances on each of my quads now. Neither is OCed yet so it's like running 2 stock E-6600s.

Yah! I was waiting for the 4/22 price drops. Better two Q6600s than 1 QX6700.
