This is great news. I was eagerly waiting for this. It looks like this  
fixes most problems I had with running Mac OS X as a guest OS. I will  
definitely try this tomorrow and tell you the results.

Is the VMWare I/O backdoor implemented already or is this patch meant  
to be applied on top of another patch?
