I agree you get what you pay for. The newest version of VMware server (2.0) may have a version of VMware tools that works with the newer Linux kernels now, but it doesn't like my machine. Whenever I try to create a new virtual machine, I get a server error message, and it progresses no further. I never had any problems with the 1.0x series other than the the tools issue that surfaced back in November. The only reason I don't have any plans to buy VMware Workstation is that I have also started to lose interest in VMware. I prefer either dual booting on a separate partition or installing Linux on an external USB stick or drive when it comes to mixing Windows and Linux, and last year I built a separate desktop machine at home that's all Linux, so there's not much reason for me to mix the two any more.
