RE: [BLUG] VMWare Workstation and full virtualization

The main difference that I know of is that, when using full virt, the
guest OS does not require any modifications and is not aware that it is
running in a virtualized environment. Under para virt, modifications
*are* required to the guest OS. BTW, para-virt is faster.
