Subject: [9fans] slightly ot: how can I get vmware 4.5?

Hi,

I have recently found the need to use P9 in a Windows only environment
(new job).  I thought I'd "just" use VMWare for that.  But it turns
out I seem to have just missed my window of opportunity, as VMWare are
quite agressively not wanting to let me use version 4.5, but insist I
(and everyone else from now on, as far as I can see) use version 5.

I don't have much time on trying to make P9 work on VMWare 5, so I was
wondering if anyone on this list has any ideas how I could persuade
VMWare to sell me a 4.5 license?

I didn't get very far in trying out version 5 yet (somebody else was
having difficulties as well on this list, if I remember correctly).  I
guess I'll have another go at some point ...

Thanks for any pointers,
Robby
