VMWare 6.0 Beta

Saturday, December 23, 2006

VMWare have announced availability of VMWare 6.0 beta, well I've only just noticed.

  • Support for Windows Vista - Use Windows Vista as host operating system
  • Multiple monitor display - You can configure a VM to span multiple monitors, or multiple VMs to each display on separate monitors
  • Integrated Virtual Debugger - Workstation integrates with Visual Studio and Eclipse so you can deploy, run, and debug programs in a VM directly from your preferred IDE
  • Automation APIs (VIX API 2.0) - You can write scripts and programs to automate VM testing
  • Headless mode - You can run VMs in the background without the Workstation UI


More info at http://www.vmware.com/wsbeta

I'm very interested in the integrated virtual debugger, sounds like it would be great when testing and debugging on non-standard environments.  Headless mode also sounds cool when you just require SQL Server or a domain controller for testing purposes in the background.  Download for Windows is 167mb.

Do you develop in Eclipse or in VS?
