Is the closed version not free then?

I tried to get my palm TX to run in VMware via USB but VMware seems to go
through the host OS first which has a palm Treo 680 installed.
Windows the host OS doesn't like the palm TX as its got a palm Treo on it
already hence me trying to run XP in VMware to avoid the palm conflict.

Mickeysofts Virtual PC doesn't support USB at all

I was wondering if Suns VM works differently so theres no mismatch in
device drivers.
