I reached out to a high level sr engineer at VMware and told him there was a

He asked "how many"?
Well, I sure can't go back to him and tell him that there was only one
company who contacted me back who said that they used VMware in production
systems, with FreeBSD guest os.
If there isn't anyone else with VMware problems, and I really want to be
clear: VMware is a 'for profit' company, so, small numbers won't impress
them, but if there are any companies (aside from the one that contacted me..
you don't have to again, I have your email).
If no one else, I'll call him back on the phone and apologize for bothering
him.
I was really hoping to get some of the virtual nic issues, and hgfs issues
worked out, but, I guess there isn't enough commercial interest.
Hi Michael:
I can't speak to your specific experience, but I do know that some VMWare folk
contacted the FreeBSD release engineering team late in the 9.0 cycle to ask
whether the ISO images appearing on our FTP site were the final versions they
should use for qualification work or not. We advised them to wait until the
release announcement was out, just in case.
Robert
