Very disapointing to see that VM have retained the same outrageous pricing and licencing charges as Thinstall. What a good way to kill interest in application virtualisation!
It's difficult to work out who this product is aimed at; certainly not the small to medium software developer. The base price is way too high (about ten times the price of the operating system it depends upon) and the per-user-instance licence fee completely rules it out. It would be good to get a statement from VM justifying the pricing and saying who they expect to use the product.
What a shame that an excellent product that could be very widely taken up by developers has been put out of reach.
