No Software Love

[sechs]

Apparently, my computer was recently infected with a crazy piece of adware.

The new version of VMware doesn't support my C-stepping Opterons for 64-bit guests.

Where is the love?

Gamespy Arcade seemed liek Spyware to me the one time I let something install it. Not seeing a problem with it being detected as such.

Fucking Steam is ALSO spyware, if you ask me.

WRT to VMware, I'd say that's disappointing, but are you actually loading up 64-bit guest installations? Of things that behave differently from 32-bit software?

Is spyware really dangerous before you install it?

In theory, I'd like to be able to test software in a virtual machine before putting it on a live machine. I can't test any 64-bit operating systems and software with VMware. So, for example, 64-bit SusE will have to installed natively for me to test it and test software packages with it. It's just a pain in the butt.

On the good news front, the multiprocessor support *does* work. Don't really have a use for it, but it's nifty.
