Does anybody know why us users of FreeBSD-4.8 are left out of support of
vmware version-3? What can be the reason that _only_ fbsd5 and up is
supported? The latter *IS* a developers branch, so everybody w/
production machines can only use vmware-2.x, which is much slower than
the later version 3.x

I see the diffs on a daily basis, running vmware3 on linux and vmware2
on FreeBSD. Version 3 really is much faster and one of the reasons I
still run linux on that machine.
The other is support for the CodeWeavers plugins and Office on linux. I
surely hope they will support FreeBSD too one day.
