Arco,

Thanks for the correction! I'll have to walk down the hall and have a talk
with our Windows guy since he was the source for my mis-information. I've
recently started playing with VMWare at home as a learning experience but
I've only loaded server OSs since that's how we use it here.

Thanks again,

BJ

This is not true. I use the free VMWare server with XP Pro for testing
environments. You can create VM's for a wide range of operating systems. For
Windows it goes from Windows 3.1 to Vista x64 and Server 2003 x64.
I have used the VM's with an XP Pro installation and WDSc, and it just
runs fine in a VM, but you have to be carefull with memory allocation. Your
VM host has to have plenty of memory that you can allocate to the VM guest,
or else it will swap too much and you'll become a very bad performance.

Best regards,
Arco Simonse
