This impresses me. I have always wanted to play with one of VMWare’s server offerings and never had enough reason to authorize a purchase for the office. Now VMWare has released their GSX server free for everyone to use. The name has now been re-branded to VMWare Server but it is essentially the GSX version with a new logo.

Their ESX version is still non-free but thats a monster of a package that most businesses won’t require and more suited to data centers. Looking forward to when I get some time to play with it.

Seems as if VMWare is feeling the pressure from Xen and their virtualization software.
