RE: VMware Wkstn 3.0 and XP Upgrade
In answer to your questions, no. I use VMware extensively in both Windows and Linux, but shy very far away from XP. It may hurt my career as an author, but I don't care. It sucks bad. If the install validates against MSes Piracy Control servers, you should have no problem updating anything. I've even run .NET Enterprise Server in VMware and used Windows Update. And that leads me to a rather humerous idea. If everyone used VMware to install XP then you'd have countless installations whose hardware ID would be identical, thereby effectively crushing MSes attempt at quashing casual piracy. How ironic :) Tyler Hello List(s), I know that VMware DOES NOT support using raw devices under Windows XP, but has any done this? Also, has anyone been able to use the XP upgrade under VMware?

Tyler, What about VMware Tools and VGA? I understand there is no problem with the AMDnet virtual NIC card. Did you do an upgrade with .Net or the full\ install? Regards, Keith B.

What about VMware Tools and VGA? I understand there is no problem with the AMDnet virtual NIC card. Did you do an upgrade with .Net or the full\ install? I had no problems with the VMware SVGA drivers or the NIC. Everythings works just peachy (except that its Windoze, of course). I performed a complete install. I do have a copy of a standard Win2K Pro install just laying about that I could try, but it will be a while before I can do that.

Maybe I'll try it for hoots tonight. Nothing to lose. Just reinstall win98se if XP croaks. That' the beauty of linux;^) Best Regards, Keith B.

That' the beauty of linux;^) Of note, I've found VMware to _not_ be the expected bastion of protection to your Windows installation that I though it would be. THe Linux version is very safe to run when the Guest OS craps out, but the Windows version will take the entire system down, even if the Gues OS is Linux. COL 3.1 hard froze my WIn2K Pro install dead during installation. Just a note.

RE: RE: RE: RE: VMware Wkstn 3.0 and XP Upgrade
Tyler, Yup. I only feel confident using the Linux version for that reason. I had thought about the other way around, but then, thought twice. ;^) Best, Keith B.
