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

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?
