Palo Alto, Calif., March 29, 2000 - VMware, Inc.
[http://www.vmware.com], the company that is changing the one OS, one machine PC computing
model, today announced an OEM agreement with Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq:
MSFT) to distribute Microsoft Windows(r) 98, Windows NT(r), and Windows(r) 2000
with VMware software. Later this year, VMware will add VMware Ready to
Run to its list of product offerings.
VMware's virtual machine technology and platform offer powerful solutions to
a host of computing challenges including security, compatibility, reliability,
and resource management. VMware's desktop software is the first implementation
of this technology, allowing a single computer to run multiple applications
and the respective operating systems concurrently without the need to reboot
or partition the hard drive.
VMware 2.0 features a graphical user interface that allows users to flip between
applications or operating systems running in virtual machines with a single
keystroke. The software runs as an application on top of an existing OS,
and supports full virtual machine networking, sound, multimedia, and suspend/resume
functionality.
Under the OEM agreement with Microsoft, VMware customers will have the option
to buy VMware Ready to Run with their choice of Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows
2000 preinstalled in a VMware virtual machine.
"VMware Ready to Run will allow customers to run Microsoft Windows
as an additional operating system without any of the pain of an install,"
notes Dave Michaud, VMware Vice President of Marketing. "For Linux
users who want access to Windows, this will mean a simpler out-of-box experience
- they can simply copy the VMware Ready to Run file to their hard drive, and
be up and running in Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000 in a matter of
minutes."
VMware Ready to Run is also an excellent way to try Windows 2000. A user can
keep their current world completely intact and also, with simply a file copy,
have Windows 2000.
