  The French article has a comment by Regis Duschene one of the VMware Fusion developers stating that there is an Easter Egg in the Easter Egg. The virtualghetto.com article is referring to that second easter egg (i.e. the Pride mode) and telling you how to "unlock" it. The post linked to here on HN is by M. Elizabeth Scott who created the Pong OS easter egg while at VMware. A version of the code of the Pong OS can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/p/vmware-svga/git/ci/master/tree/examples/pong/main.c http://sourceforge.net/p/vmware-svga/git/ci/master/tree/exam... From a cursory look, I don't think it has the Pride mode.

    There isn't really an explanation anywhere, but the colors that the game changes to in pride-mode look like original Apple logo colors - is that a hat tip?

      >There isn't really an explanation anywhere, but the colors that the game changes to in pride-mode... ...are a rainbow, a symbol of gay pride[1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_pride http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_pride

      Yes. Multiple meanings.. gay pride, but also pride in our work, and in producing the first product of its kind for Apple machines, and pride in the small team of us that made it happen within VMware.

  This is the personal blog post of the author of the easter egg.
