Does Vista run as guest in VMware Server? Are there known issues?
Thanks, Sven

Microsoft in it's never ending quest to maximize profits at the expense of
its users has made it so that only Fista Ultimate is allowed to run in a
virtual machine. Whether this is a technical restriction or simply an EULA
restriction, I don't know?

Cheers.

It runs well as long as you download the latest version of VMware server...

it was updated to fix some problems with vista...

Your HOST pc must have at least 1 gig or ram, because vista as a client will
need
512 mb

No problems at all.. everything works.. oh.. of course you will not have
glass support...
but that is obvious...

(I read that there IS a way to do have 3d acceleration but I have not tried
it)

Where did you get this gibberish? Completely untrue.

This simply isn't true...

I looked a few days ago and I believe it's officially listed as
"experimental" support which in VMWarese means "we think it should work but
why don't you try it and let us know if you have any problems".

Give it a try and post back.

The Vista EULA does in fact indicate that you cannot run Vista Home
Basic and Home Premium in a VM. It states:
[color=blue]
> USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may not use the software installed on the
> licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system[/color]

See page 11, points number 4 under Vista Home Basic and Vista Home
Premium of the license agreement here:

<http://download.microsoft.com/documents/useterms/Windows%20Vista_Home%20Premium_English_d16c019b-fa71-4fc9-a51d-a0621bddb153.pdf>

it works fine... it says experimental.. but the only thing that is REALLY
experimental
is vista itself!!! LOL

vista is stupid

But that's not what NoStop said... Vista Ultimate is not the only version of
Vista permitted to run in a virtual environment - Vista Business and Vista
Enterprise are also permitted:

And look how MickeyMouse intentionally lies to consumers. Go here to see
MickeyMouse's comparisons of the different Fista offerings ...

No mention of running a version in a vm. One would have to read each EULA
for each product to find out which ones are permitted to run in a vm. If
nothing else, my raising this issue will make Windoze users investigate
beyond Microsoft's LIES.

Cheers.

Thank you, Mark and the other guys in this thread. Taking your info
together, I will update my VMserver, install Ultimate, google for
tricks to get glass run, and finally post my results in this group.

Off-topic remark to NoStop's comment concerning MVPs: I dont feel
bothered by MVPs at all, but by postings with a blaming or cynical
undertone. This may happen with postings of MVPs or of other users.
Fortunately, there are also MVPs as well as other users with kind and
competent answers. Thanks again, guys. Sven

Good to know, though my question concerned Vista as a guest, not as a
host.
VPC for Vista as a guest is no option at all becase of its lack of
USB.

It's known as lies by omission. Much like the way GW Bush operates.

Cheers.
