so? in a few years, everything will be with these extentions.

GX is meant to run servers, not desktops.

GX is doomed anyway, since ESX does the same thing in a much better way
(GX still runs on top of a host operating system. ESX runs directly on the
hardware, and avoids the overhead of a host operating system).

mind you, VMWare's (now EMC, actually) business is with virtualizing
server farms - that's probably a larger market then the virtual desktops
we're using at home.

if you're curious - just check on their web site. they got a lot of info
there.
