Copied from the Fusion forum...here's a better place I think.

I'm going to start this old chestnut again...

I'm here at VMWorld 2008, Cannes and I got talking to a couple of people. Now I'm not claiming any inside knowledge or anything but I'm guessing a petition with enough response will make VMware think seriously about doing a native mac VI Client.

I'm sure, like me, there are many of you who use the mac daily who also deploy, maintain, train and troubleshoot VI3, and booting an XP vm just to do that is well...a PITA.

So please, join in.

VMware is still one of those rare-breed companies that 'actually' listen to their customers, unlike others that say they do, but...don't.

Bring it on!

Given that a Linux client has been rumoured, denied, rumoured again over the years who knows whether this would ever prevail.

Add my vote for native OSX VI client. Most of our IT staff use Macs. Also, a vote for an MKS plugin that works with FF on Mac too!

Thanks,

+1 Here as well.

I use Macs exclusively now except for my ESX servers I manage. I have to use Fusion to admin my ESX virtuals and although it works, I'd much rather fire up a native VI Client!
