Re: WDSC in a VM (was You wanna talk about POed... )

The licensing for a Windows desktop OS like XP Pro is different and in
addition, you cannot create a VM for a Windows desktop OS using the free
VMWare Server; It can host the VM but it cannot create it. To create a 

VM

for a Windows desktop OS you will need to purchase one of the
non-free VMWare products like VMWare Workstation. 

I think there is a way to create the VM image for use with the free 
VMPlayer without purchasing VMWare Workstation.  I found some howto 
articles when I was looking in to running WDSC in a VM on Linux (haven't 
accomplished that yet due to time and computer resources - running a VM 
big enough for WDSC takes a big machine!).

HTH,
