THAT gets my attention.  I didn't know anything about EMC and I didn't 
think much about the merger since VMware is claiming that the merger 
will not affect their product plans.

IMHO, VMware is the best solution to date (free or otherwise) for 
running an all Linux shop and testing M$ compatibility issues.  Not to 
mention those pesky apps that don't exist for Linux.  Please no flames 
or emulator wars, this is just my opinion.

Time will tell, but this could turn out to be a bad event for Linux. 
I'd rather not have to go back to having a M$ machine for the sake of 
running 2 apps and testing IE against websites.
