All the more reason to use QEMU, or KVM, or even Bochs.

Yup. I haven't messed with vmware since I figured out how to run qemu headless. Now I just use qemu and virtualbox for everything.

So let's see.... Parallels, VirtualPC, Xen, and now VMware are compromised.

I'm with bigg here. Just being a Microsoft employee does not automatically make a person unethical. I've visited the Microsoft campus and met scores of really good people.

If you know something about Mr. Meritz, then please share.

Especially if they feel the urge to become ex-Microsoft.

No, but being Microsoft top management probably does...

As long as they sue Microsoft there's no problem I suppose...

What Microsoft employee wouldn't want to jump ship for the potential of stock options that aren't constantly under water?

VMware stock is a much better bet for the executive who wants to get rich quick.
