Yesterday, I was looking at the VMware site with an intention of getting VMware Server 2 (Beta) and posibly getting pricing for Workstation and ESX Server. As all of this revolves about some of my research, I found myself looking at the VMware Academic Program.

This program allows Universities to obtain VMware software free of charge for research purposes. Of even more interest, it permits publications on this research without prior concent from VMware themselves. This is a major shift from what I was doing last year, and should allow me to redo my work for publishing purposes.

Barry has applied for the program and we should hear back from them within the next week. Read more about the program here.
