I run the free VMWare server on Windows 2003 and three VMs running 2003. It works well except that the software I run in the VMs somehow starts slowing down the VMs and eventually that slows down the VMWare server as well. It has gotten to the point where rebooting the server was the only way to get it back. All in all it has been just fine though. Does the Windows VM allow seeing a disk volume on the server? I use a SSD on the server, split it into volumes and assign one volume to each VM. This is used to hold a read-only database of postal information. Using the SSD makes the software running in the VM about 3 times faster than trying to do the same with the postal database contained directly in the VM's drive. John W.
