I've been invited onto the beta of the next version of VMware Workstation. There's nothing much unusual about that. I have a licensed copy of it and have participated before. What's different this time is the version number. VMware are (at present) calling this next version “VMware Workstation 2011”. (I don't think I'm breaking the EULA or anything by mentioning this.) This would, if they stick with it, represent a change from previous versions (4.x, 5x, 6.x and 7.x to name but a few). This will be a marketing tactic. I'm not about to try…
