Gotta get me this. The new version’s licensing lets you install on either a Linux or Windows host OS, but still only one at a time. Still, it’s nice to have the option of changing if you wish.

I suspected this was coming. About two months ago, VMware sent out an email blast offering Workstation 6.5 for half price which worked out to roughly $100 at the time. I passed on this because I didn’t want to buy it only to get stung with a new version that I’d immediately have to upgrade to just a short while later.

The new version is $190 and the price for upgrading is $100, so I guess I’ll have ended up saving $10 this way.
