I'm not sure the VMware tools provide hardware 3D acceleration but it's likely that it will come sooner or later anyway.. so, once again, try and then tell me :) Yeah usage is limited but it’s ok as a test ground.

Also Linux by itself isn't a champion of 3D. I think that with Windows it would be easier, if anything, because there aren't too many current versions of it. Anyhow, I have Ubuntu on VMware 8) ..just wanted to try it.. but I can't find much use for it !! Probably because I have already cygwin installed under Windows.

I've been running SuSE on VMWare and it's really very good with 2D (games too), but I couldn't get 3D acceleration to work (and software was too slow). Maybe there is a way, but I don't know! Of course the fact I couldn't get to install the VMWare tools on that virtual machine could be part of the problem, or maybe not.. TRY!!!! then tell me! Humm we should test it..

Mac is already using ATI chipsets. I think that currently VMware provides a way (some sort of custom made driver layer to install manually) to, for example, have Linux access hardware acceleration when running in a virtual machine under Windows.

Anyway I doubt anyone would use heavy graphical applications on a Mac running VMware, but on the other hand, the common Intel platform will surely make porting easier to some extent. Apple could even write a wrapper (similar to Wine) to aid developers do the porting.. if they haven't already! It will be very interesting to compare prices and performance of MacIntels with PCs! And troll in Apple forums as usual... :D Yep, I doubt Microsoft will release a Virtual PC for Mac but you never know!
