Right, but I can't find where that matters now.  I use USB, Audio - even 
burning CD's from VMWare Server.  I've got a VM that I do all kinds of 
DVD authoring on (Windows XP) and burn right to my DVD drive from the 
VM... no problems.  I use it as if it "were" a Workstation.

The fact that I can connect to them from another machine on my network 
via the VMWare Server Console is just icing on the cake - to me. 

Am I missing something?
