Man, would I love an NX show and tell.
    Especially if it included the non-free version. (I use both free and non-free vmware products and I feel that comparing features of free and non-free when development is driven by a commercial company, is super important, if you want development to continue.)
    More especially if there were an expectation that folks would attend the show and tell with a Linux box, and there were a hands-on component of the presentation.

Man, would I love that.
