now all the sudden they start to give away stuff - I don't know maybe I am being paranoid but I vote xen - just because of the trust factor.

7:27 AM EDT 		yes they did - I was a consumer of that - still have the saved windows nt images and rpm's from it. - I believe you are right on the price $39.00 and it was called vmware express

but then they dropped it like a rock and offered upgrades to register users which I believe was 99.00 dollars - the real price was something in the 200 to 300 dollar range.
