    As a business user, there are three key features we need to make your product viable:

    1) A stable release. Getting closer with RC4 (aka the production version), but not quite there yet.

    2) Multiple Snapshot support (including forks and the ability to delete intermediate snapshots).

    3) Ability to store VM's on FAT32 formatted external drives. As the file size limit is 4GB-1 byte, we need to be able to split the .hdd file into multiple parts (2GB is the usual partition size to avoid problems). Right now my VM Hdd file is 21 GB - and growing.

    Right now, we don't have VMWare Fusion as an option, but we will soon. In order to remain competitive, you'll need these features.

    If your corporate strategy is to abandon business users, and target just gamers and home users, that's fine...but let us know, so we can stop wasting time testing the beta versions and focus our efforts on the competition.
