[jg]That sounds good for putting on a USB flash drive...which might seem even 
more convenient to some than turning on VMware  -- only for customers with a 
linux box of course, and we were talking windows...

But back to windows -- Can VMware be called from a script so when you plug in a 
USB flash drive, the equivalent of autoexec.bat runs VMware player or server and 
loads the image?  The flash drive setup has one more benefit to a rushed, high 
dollar burning customer; it has writable some leftover storage space for your 
design files from the start with no extra setup time required.
