As per GCS, it'd be better if this avoided referring to a propietary product more than necessary for the functionality. How about making this a generic detection command (with a similar interface to the cpuid one), such that detection for other virtual environments (e.g. qemu) can potentially be added? > * VMWARE detection code taken from > * http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/backdoor.html Is there any copyright-significant code taken from there?
