Now that sounds interesting...any further info ??
Anyone seen it in action ??
I'll check around..

EDIT: there goes my faith in El Reg: I think there is no dl available yet for 2.2 : Sun's download page still showing 2.14
MY bad, sorry :(

PR stuff ::) Teaser ?
Maybe 'issues' ?

Heh: if it was a teaser: then a tasty one..lol.
Frankly I was a bit suprised that VB had got in ahead of VMWare...

It will be there soon.
I was sent an email to watch a video conference last week.
I didnt get to watch it since the email sending me details to signin were sent two days after the event.
I cant wait for this release.

edit: its avaliable now.
one download for each OS. much better than the old seprate for 32bit/64bit.

My download is almost complete as I type. I'll be installing it in a couple of minutes.

Edit: Proceed with caution. They've messed up local networking!!!
Re-edit: You must uninstall the previous version before starting the install of 2.2 or Bridged Networking won't work.
