[cisco-voip] CCM 5 on VMWare Server 1.0.0

Thu Jul 27 14:17:11 EDT 2006

What's really stupid here is that they offer demo licenses for Unity,
IPCC, CiscoWorks (90 day), etc... Why not CCM5?

My guess is that Cisco doesn't want anyone playing with it, so they
won't report back how buggy it is (come on guys, Cisco has released
3.4GB of patches (on a 1.2GB install DVD) in the past three months..

That's very bad.
