Rant

A Nation, Friendzoned, Part N+1

VMWare have released an update to their Workstation product, version 9.  Main feature seems to be support for Windows 8.  Also better remote management (not much of an issue for me) and USB 3.0 support.

They've also updated the price from $199 up to $249.

They've also created an Australian store, with prices 40% higher than the US store.

I upgraded to version 8 because it was on sale for $70.  It would cost me $175 to upgrade to 9, and honestly, I can't be bothered.

1 I find it easier to plonk a new drive in a spare machine and install whatever. Granted remote desktop can get pretty bandwidth intensive.
And we all know it costs more to ship bits to Australia.

2 I'm testing install scripts at the moment, including one that builds and customises an entire OpenVZ container, so having a virtual machine I can clone as needed is very, very handy.
