True, that is a disadvantage - but as long as we do not get dependent on it
in any way - why not make use of it? For the moment it is just a matter of
comfort: Some people buy two computers to create a network for the hurd,
why should not others buy a second "virtual" computer for the same
purpose?

As soon as we have solved this problem and many others like the hurd
console and the X-Servers under hurd, there will be no reason to use
VMware any more (except for people who do real work on the kernel and
have plenty of crashes every day...)
