Ok, I get it. But of course VMware is not open source, right?
And you have to be running VMware first before this is possible.
But I suppose supporting an Axiom/Doyen VMware application is
not that different than supporting a Windows version of Axiom...
And who is going to laugh at $200,000? :)
Note that there is an open source alternative to VMware for linux
applications called Xen:
