OrCAD... they had an amusing reaction to my asking about using their
windoze-only products under Linux via vmware. They didn't actually
say they were opposed to it, but they _strongly_ recommended not
doing it. Probably has something to do with it locking to the NIC
in the non-dongle versions. Oh, and it was a dog under vmware.

They have (interestingly, since they are owned by Cadence now) also
expressed a complete lack of interest in porting their Capture and
Layout products to Linux/*nix. Cadence makes some _really_ nice IC
physical layout and verification tools that run/ran on Solaris and
possibly other unices. Big bucks, mind you.
