Dear VMware User, 

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the beta 
version of VMware(TM) Workstation 3.0, our award-winning desktop 
product. Workstation 3.0 is our most powerful and comprehensive 
desktop software release ever! Workstation 3.0 provides support 
for the latest operating systems, including Microsoft(R) 
Windows(R) XP and the latest Linux distributions. It adds support 
for new devices, provides significant enhancements in networking, 
and delivers better overall performance. On Microsoft Windows host 
operating systems, Workstation 3.0 also provides a completely new 
Windows-style user interface with significantly improved ease 
of use. 

As an existing user of our Workstation software, we want you to 
experience firsthand the many new features and performance 
enhancements of this major new release. 

A few highlights: 
-- Support for the latest host and guest operating systems, 
   including Windows XP 
-- Support for new devices, including USB, generic SCSI devices, 
   and CD-ROM ISO images 
-- Larger virtual disk support (up to 128GB IDE, 256GB SCSI) 
-- Built-in support for NAT, allowing guest OSes to share the host 
   IP address 
-- Eight internal virtual Ethernet switches, increased from four 
   in Workstation 2.0 
-- Improved performance for mouse, graphics, disk, I/O, 
   and networking 
-- New Windows-style user interface (on Windows hosts only) 
-- Better support for laptop computers 

Support for DVD-ROM and CD-R/RW devices will be available in later 
beta releases.
