I'm running VMware Workstation 6.0.0 build 45731 here and it shows me that Solaris 10 is supported as a guess OS. I'll have SXDE in there asap also just to do some testing. For the most part I run pure Solaris 10 99.995% of the time and when I do boot Windows XP it may be so long between boots that the battery on the motherboard dies and I lose the BIOS config. That may change if I *have* to work with Vista and CATIA V5 and thus VMWare will become reasonable for me. That is a long and verbose way for me to explain that VMware 6.0.0 ( on Vista ) looks like a safe leap for me to make now that Solaris 10 is considered "supported".
