Hello Mark -- Thank you for your information - I will be waiting for your news on your advanced experience with VMWare. -- Shamil 28 ноября 2011, 19:21 от Mark Breen <marklbreen at gmail.com>: Hello Shamil, I did play with VMWare, I did install it on a raw machine in 20 mins and it worked. I then quickly installed three OS's XP, Win7 and W2K. All worked well. I also downloaded a VMimage of a dos games machine. I also installed two or three linux machines and all worked well. I plan to do more, but have not yet done so. Actually, I plan to have a permanant server here for VM's, maybe even take SQL off my desktop completely, not sure if that will make it lighter or not. when I have more news, I will post it. One thing that may help you have to do two things 1) install the VMWare ESXi server on the bare metal machine and boot it and configure a few basic networking settings. 2) then you install the windows client on another machine and you can connect to your server to set up VM's.

Did you work with it and did it worked well as described in the VMWare ads? Also, the 2010 Information Worker Demonstration and Evaluation Virtual Machine (SP1) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27417 is a Hyper-V image AFAUI. Is there any (easy and cost effective) ways to convert that Hyper-V image into an WMare image?
