Yep, did just that yesterday evening, and first had a shock while installing Win2k and my machine crashed with both microphone and speaker at full volume. You can imagine the nice larsen effect I got. My wife almost got a heart attack at 1:00 am :-) Then I disabled the audio device, and from there everything went well. I have to say that VMWare is much more polished than qemu (this was to be expected), and with vmware-tools it feels much faster, probably due to the special graphics driver and using a hardware cursor for the mouse. And yes, it works with 1920x1200x32 in full screen, and all this makes it a winner. Now I have to figure out how to convert my qemu disk images to VMWare images and make them boot. The first tests with qemu-img ended with a BSOD and "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE". But I haven't had much time to figure it out yet.
