The VMware tabs hidden by the evolution page are WindowsXP and
Solaris10.  Given enough RAM, I could run them all at the same time.
I left the OS X tab named Other so that I'd remember how I'd installed
it.  VMware.com doesn't have the appliance, but you can find it at

What I'd really like to see is a VMware Workstation that installs on
Solaris10.
