Inside CNET Labs: Yet another way to get Windows on your Mac | Crave : The gadget blog: "VMware claims that Fusion supports more than 60 operating systems--both 32- and 64-bit--with dual-core processor support. While some users will benefit from being able to run Novell Netware or Linux as virtual machines on their Intel Macs, the largest user-base will mostly consist of those looking to run Windows Vista or Windows XP."

Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm a big mac basher. Not because i think that the mac suck, I don't... but more because I feel like the mac platform is much more geared at a novice computer user that doesn't understand complicated things like FTP, Copy and Paste and god forbid, installing a driver.

That combined with software that is purposely limiting (Why can I only upload a picture from iPhoto to a .mac account and not to an FTP site of my own for example?) to ensure that the consumer never deviates from the Mac platform, makes me less than eager to go buy their latest offerings.

That could change however if I could run an APP like VMware and run OSX along side of Ubuntu and maybe XP (I wouldn't touch vista for another year or so). Maybe I will take another look at the mac, god knows all the 'real ruby geeks' have one... maybe I should too.... ya, let's see how bogged down they run with 4 OS's running as virtual machines.
