    Not sure if this is something other people would want as well which is why I am asking the question.

    I tried VMWare a week or so ago.

    Couple of things I liked, one was the fact it does not take as much CPU as Parallels does but I am sure Parallels will get that fixed eventually.

    One thing I REALLY liked was the ability to change the network setting from Shared to Bridged or from Bridged to Shared WITHOUT shutting down the VM.

    You could do it on the fly.

    I have had a couple of instances where I have needed to change network and having to shutdown the VM, go to config., make the change and then reboot the VM is a pain.

    Just me or does anyone else need this ability?????

    I have not needed to reboot to change the network in v3.0. I go to Devices-> Network and change them as needed. If for some reason Windows flakes out and does not switch a release/renew always worked, but for the most part Windows picked up the new network on its own.
