Rather large VMWare Bug - FIXED

You would have to have been living under a rock for the past 24 hours not to have heard about the recent catastrophic bug that made its way in to the latest release of VMWare ESX. The guys at VMWare allowed a license kill-switch into an upgrade that blocked VMs from starting after the 12th August 2008.
