I checked out Resedit to see what there was in the runtime resource's section. I was surprised there wasn't an icon (had never noticed) what was there was to do with the counter/leaf debug screen you can get with function key toggles.
What was more interesting (naturally) was the maker tool files. If anyone wanted to monkey with these, you could probably easily rearrange the layout of SOM and easily edit the wallpaper so to speak.
Something more interesting to me for some reason, was I didn't like the blue frill around VMware, and there was no way to reskin it. So I thought while I was at this to see if the skin was in the resource section, and it was. So I'm thinking just changing the bitmaps that makeup the VMware skin to be black instead of blue would look much nice in Vista, and even complement SOM better I think. If you wanted to go even further you could totally change the style of the VMware window to be square or something, and even put Sword of Moonlight decals all over it if you wanted to
I still think a VMware all-in-1 suite would be a badass offering. I don't see why not to really gin it up. It would be the centerpiece of our entire enterprise here. Plus it's an easy way to support Linux too. Some of you guys really gotta get involved in some extracurricular activities... form a committee or something
