OrCAD... they had an amusing reaction to my asking about using their windoze-only products under Linux via vmware. They didn't actually say they were opposed to it, but they _strongly_ recommended not doing it. Probably has something to do with it locking to the NIC in the non-dongle versions. Oh, and it was a dog under vmware. S L O W They have (interestingly, since they are owned by Cadence now) also expressed a complete lack of interest in porting their Capture and Layout products to Linux/*nix. Cadence makes some _really_ nice IC physical layout and verification tools that run/ran on Solaris and possibly other unices. Big bucks, mind you.
