Problems downloading VMWare Server?

VMWare Server is now available for download on the VMWare site but a lot of peope are having problems downloading it. Chris Hammond, VMWare Developer, has posted a workaround if you have problems with the actual download page. In his post he also explains what VMWare Server is, and perhaps more importantly what it isn't. I still wonder what Microsofts response to this will be, if there is one at all. I have a feeling that Microsoft might be content with charging for it's rivaling product. What is interesting though, is that Windows Server 2003 RC 2 has a revised licensing scheme for virtualization. This applies regardless of virtualization technology and vendor.
Better virtualization value. Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition provides better value in server virtualization. Licensing policy changes now allow customers to run up to 4 virtual instances of Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition on one licensed physical server or hardware partition.

Seems like it's really time to get started on the VM I've been thinking about doing, stay tuned for more info on that later on.
