VMware has already announced they intend to certify a broader range of systems including many "white box" platforms, but my understanding about the admission to the HCL is that the process puts most of the repsonsibility of testing on the hardware vendor. Here's more info on certification of wider range of systems. http://vmetc.com/2008/06/06/vmware-to-certify-broader-range-of-one-two-and-four-socket-systems/ Leo,

Please, VMware, do the right thing - support a few more base hardware platforms, even *unofficially* Interesting – I wonder if 3i will support more hardware – being free, makes it very attractive to test/dev labs that lack the HCL certification from VMware…

Please, VMware, do the right thing – support a few more base hardware platforms, even *unofficially*
