Thank you, I appreciate your recommendation, but I strongly disagree on the notion that I should pay VMware for the privilege of reporting a regression with their latest update. My understanding is... was that, yes, of course bugs should be reported here. That's how I see it being used anyway, considering half of the latest posts are bug reports in one form or another. Are you telling me those will never get escalated?
The mistaken impression is that is a VMware product support board. It's not. It's an end-user to end-user community board with very little active participation by VMware employees. Anything posted here has no guarantee to be looked at by VMware employees (once in a while you might get lucky and get VMware to notice, but most of the time it's crickets from them).
I agree that VMware does its users a disservice by not having an ability for users to report a defect (regression or otherwise) in their desktop virtualization software other than a paid support offering. My point is given the way that VMware seems to work the only sure way of getting "escalation" or someone to actually look at a problem is unfortunately paying for support.
I hope you won't shoot the messenger.
