ReactOS
Man, those ReactOS developers have really done a stellar job of replicating the Windows NT fundamentals.
(Okay, not really their fault! I chose to "upgrade" their demo VM when VMware prompted me. If you don't do that, it works OK)
(Also, the video is sped up by Flickr. Bug reported here.)

VMware Fusion Overview
If you don’t already own Parallels Desktop, the new VMWare beta is great — I far prefer “Unity” to “Coherence” for mixing Windows apps on the OS X desktop. Only $40 if you buy before the official release at the end of August.

ChipLog: VMware Workstation 6.0 beta 3
Wow, Record/Replay sounds useful. Similar to the Java Omniscient Debugger, but capturing the whole machine state. Looks like VMWare are doing a good job of differentiating their free and pay-for versions.

VMWare Server
Fantastic news: VMWare are making their server product free(beer). I’m almost certainly going to use this for a dev server at work — Backup the virtual machine image every night, and if hardware crashes, just startup your backed-up image on a new machine. Also gets around the “You can’t create an image” limitation of the free VMWare Player app.

VMware Player
This has great potential. VMWare have a free “player” allowing anyone to run pre-built virtual machines.
