Just imagining the productivity gains from this is mind-boggling.

That's awesome. I like what you're doing! </p> Looking back at Planet Gnome, I see the <a href="http://www.beatniksoftware.com/blog/index.php?p=40">original post</a> I read was actually written by a VMware employee. Aha! No wonder he's pointing out cool uses of VMware. Well, your viral marketing scheme is working :-). </p> Hi John - looks like the VMware team is way ahead of me on this one. That’s awesome.

Very cool idea! This could be an interesting precedent for the future. Something similar that got me exicted is Knoppix (www.knoppix.net). It's a "live-distrobution" of linux that runs "live" off a cd or DVD. Besides being a great easy to install distrobution, it doubles as a hardware compatibility checker. You can download the whole system as a burnable image, test it in live mode to see if it works with your hardware, and then install if you like it. The best thing is that the live run doesn't touch your hard disk so you can testdrive with no worries. Images are a very cool advance in technology. Whoa! Very cool idea!
