I am still using VmWare from time to time for D-I related work. This varies upon time and increases when releases are close, for the l10n-related testing. Some of these tests can be done with QEmu, but VmWare makes it easier to do snapshots and such things which are kinda practical for demo purposes or to interrupt a test to resume it later. Up to now I was using a license I get for my paid work, but as this license is no longer needed for me, I will not have it upgraded. So, I am interested in getting one D-I related license.
