I couldn’t take it any longer I went out and preordered a copy of the limited edition Halo 3. 

Update: It seems Microsoft and Bungie goofed on the design of the limited edition case.  During shipping both discs might fall out and slide around and become scratched, mine were very lightly scratched.  If anyone experiences any problems with this Microsoft will replace the disc/s free until Feburary next year.

VMWare has launched it’s newest addition to the ESX line. The difference with this product is that it fits on 32MB of flash memory and is intended to be sold as a hardware virtualization product. VMWare achieved this by removing the general purpose operating system and only using the bare minimum services to run the hypervisor, the biggest change is that it no longer will include an administration console directly on the machine but instead use a remote console. This won’t pose a big problem to admins as the console commands are the same as before. ESX Server 3i as it is properly called is meant to be sold as an embedded hypervisor solution from OEM server manufactures.

I just started downloading the massive demo for Bioshock, all 1.8 gigs of it. I’ve heard alot of hype about this game and I wanted to see a little of it myself. I’ll let you know how the game looks after I have time to play this weekend. I might post a few screen shots if I think about it. I’m pretty sure my system can handle it at least at lower resolutions. I’ve got one EVGA 7900 Gt card right now, I was planning on getting another one soon for SLI.

Update: I went ahead and got Bioshock for the Xbox 360, I haven’t played it yet.
