I was honestly wondering. I didn't want to be disruptive on the mailing list, but I didn't quite understand what David was suggesting by implying they can act as the same thing. Workstation 8 has drag and drop compatibility with the vsphere client, meaning you can drag VM's from WKS8 to VSphere, but I didn't think it was the same thing. Vsphere client has allot of cluster management functions that WKS8 doesn't have. Last time I checked, there's a Linux Appliance for Virtual Center, but that's not the same thing as a vsphere client either. So frankly, this thread kinda had be scratching my head. Please take me with a grain of salt, I left VMware approx 1 month ago, and in the software world that's close to eternity = )<br>
