Re: VMware moves to free with Server product

[Gregory Rubin <grrubin () gmail com>]

What I'm still trying to figure out is if VMWare Server is coming out
free, why should I keep using and buying upgrades for my copy of
VMWare Workstation?

I've seen several comparisons on their website between VMWare Server
and both GSX and ESX, but what I'd really like to see is a comparison
between it and workstation.

P.S. If I can start running headless sessions, I'll be very happy.
