Sweet.

In the meantime, if you want to help please contact the VMWare project (they offer forum, mailing list and direct contact with the developers). Otherwise you risk doing duplicated work.
A couple things;

1. Windows 7 has VPC built in. Why add another virtual machine program to the OS. In fact VPC built into 7 can do some nice things.
2. VPC for XP/Vista is free, again why go VMWare. To get advanced functionality over the player; you have to pay for it...

Now I don't really have anything against VMWare; I've used the VMPlayer (have it installed on my Linux box) -- but since I already have a ton of VM stuff in VPC for development; it makes more sense for me to continue to use VPC.

If the work I do for myself can be used by others and can be used by those using windows to get into Maemo development faster, I would say that is a good thing. ;-D
