After a very long beta testing period (IMHO larger than any other on Workstation product), VMware is approaching final release date for its most famous product: Workstation, arrived at 5.0 release. The beta program remains open so everybody can now register and download Release Candidate 1. The changelog reports: - Updated wizard for Teams - Templates to better support clones - Enhanced command line interface - Option to create 'legacy' virtual machines - Debug mode disabled - Localization support for Japanese - Experimental support for Direct3D This beta program seems very appreciated, and audience is so large that VMware website can't actually handle huge request for downloading beta. I suggest you to wait few hours before trying to get the bits.
