Macrumors post: VMware Fusion Usability Study?



Saw this, but this could very well be a spam as well. VMware has its own beta forums and most users report back to the Beta Team of their experiences and evaluate the experience at the end of the beta.

Are you an avid Mac user looking to run Windows on your Mac computer? If so, VMware is conducting a usability study for its new Mac offering, VMware Fusion, and would like your opinion!

The purpose of the study is to understand your needs for running Windows on the Mac and learn how you interact with Fusion so that we can improve the product to meet your needs. We’re looking for Mac users at all levels, especially those who have limited or no experience with virtualization products.

These studies will take place at our VMware offices in Palo Alto from February 20th – Mar. 2nd. We are looking for people in the San Francisco/Bay Area willing to travel to our Palo Alto offices during these dates. During the session we will ask you to perform a number of tasks and to answer questions about your experience performing these tasks. The session is expected to last no more than 90 minutes. In appreciation of your time, we would like to offer $100 in American Express gift cards, or a VMware Fusion license.


Funny post, like I said, if you want to send a feedback , do it through the VMware site and not just some forum unless of course VMware endorses it!

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
