    VMware on Win 7

    Anyone running VMware workstation 6.5 on Win 7 32 or 64bit? Any particular issues to look out for?

    All gaming would be on the native Win 7 installation, with several Vms from DOS to Win 7 64bit to run some very old astronomy software (hence the DOS) up to testing new programs before install on my other machines. TIA!

    I'm running VMware Server 2 on Windows 7 64 bit RC because ESXi doesn't work with my raid controller. VMware is 32 bit. The vm's I have are: DOS, BSD, CentOS, Vista, Win2k3 and Windows 7. They all function, but don't usually have DOS or Vista running. The others play well together in their big sandbox all at once.

    Im running VMware Workstation 6.5.2 on Windows 7. So far, so good.

    I did just have an issue (5 min ago) where I attempted to install Windows Vista on a VM and it totally locked up during the installation, but that could be anything. Otherwise, no issues.

    VMware Workstation has been running great for me on Win7 x64.

    There is an issue with getting vSphere client to work if you have any ESX servers around but there's some workarounds you can do to make it work.
