OT: VMware

[Julian Field]

I just use it for testing, particularly odd operating systems and 
installation scripts. On my Macs I use Parallels for running Windows 
apps on a Mac, but I don't run any production mail servers with 
virtualisation. I need every last ounce of power for handling the mail, 
I can't afford the overhead caused by having VMware in the way.
