I was doing all my demos using a Vista laptop and VMware Server. Currently I'm using OSX and Virtual Box for my laptop and CentOS and VMware Server for my main desktop machine. Both work fine.

I have Vista on my laptop and I use VMware Server to run Linux and Windows XP guests. It works fine and I use if for all my demos when I'm teaching. VMware Server definitely runs better when using Linux or Windows XP as the host, but it does work on Vista. Cheers Tim... Hi.

I've tried this evening - to no avail - including having to spend a number of ours dredging the Registry to rip out all the keys, etc, because Vista didn't allow (absolutely refused - point blank) certain processes to run... Necessitating a re-boot prior to kill-off the installer; before, unfortunately, it had had the chance to complete - rendering the system un-installer-less... Any ideas?

I'm holding off my upgrade from XP to Vista just because of this. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks! so Tim, are you saying that VMWare is now certified on Vista?
