Hi John

It runs on specific hardware only. If you look around at the VMware pages, you'll find a tool to download that will verify if a given box contains approved parts and will be able to run the Hypervisor. Also, a list of approved brand-name boxes exists.

This appears to be a bare metal hypervisor that is free.  Has anyone tried to use it to set up a 
hypervisor on consumer hardware?  IOW I have available systems with quad core AMD processors and 16G 
of ram.  But the motherboards are just workstation type of motherboards, with AMD built in graphics 
and the like.

I have never set up a bare metal hypervisor, and would like to know what I am getting into before I 
launch down that road.
