The Jagular

In pursuit of my Lotusphere resolutions, I've been trying out VMWare (VMWare Server) on my laptop as a means of testing Notes 7 without affecting my current development environment. I have no revelations, but I have noticed several things. I couldn't find an obvious way to copy a file into my VMWare guest OS other than to put it on a CD. The VMWare forums seemed to suggest that newer/more advanced versions of VMWare would make this possible. I suppose I can't complain too much. VMWare is free after all. The other thing I noticed is that after shutting down VMWare, there is sometimes a 512 Meg process (named something like VMWare.exe) hanging around. I don't know if that's due to my not knowing how to properly close VMWare or if it's some sort of bug. Not a huge problem as the Task Manager can kill that process without complications.

Next step, try a Notes 7 server installation on a server with spare cycles.
