VMWare released the beta version of VMWare Workstation 6 and some of the features there have been on my wishlist for ages. Especially the last three points:
- Integrated Virtual Debugger – Workstation integrates with Visual Studio and Eclipse so you can deploy, run, and debug programs in a VM directly from your preferred IDE
- Automation APIs (VIX API 2.0) – You can write scripts and programs to automate VM testing
- Headless mode – You can run VMs in the background without the Workstation UI
Sounds wicked. Looking forward to upgrade
