Very cool. I passed the usb host:vendor_id:device_id info > from lsusb to qemu and it worked like a charm. Nice to know it has improved. That's still not a reason for people to denigrate VMware. As a virtualization specialist, I use VMware Workstation, Sun VirtualBox, regularly for desktop virtualization work, and occasionally toy around with Xen and KVM. They all do some things well and other things not so well. On the Enterprise Virtualization side, VMware's vSphere 4 is years ahead of everyone else in terms of pure capability, features, and management tools. You're kidding yourself to think otherwise. Workstation is a very good product as well in the appropriate context. Calling it names because you personally don't like it is in poor taste to say the least.
