i was a long time vmware server user before windows 7 ... i loved vmware server 2 features ... remote administration, remote start, etc of the vm's defined on my 5 computers.
i purchase vmware workstation 7 because of the graphical integration and support for windows 7 x64 ... as well as the robust network features/discovery/integration ... it works very well.
in the mean time, i see vmware server as NOT maintained .... 2.0.2 has been the latest out there for quite some time.
I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE AT VMWARE TO HAVE THE VISION, TO INTEGRATE VMWARE SERVER FEATURES INTO VMWARE WORKSTATION 7 OR THE UPCOMING 8.
if you aren't going to maintain vmware server, archive and discontinue it ... but please give us the features of server in workstation!!!

folks at VMware have this vision - they showed some of it at VMworld
thanks ulli ...
i'll be closely watching their upcoming beta's ...
