but make sure you turn of the Aero effects - that sucks a lot of processor power.

Hmmmm. Something very odd about that post. Since Virtual machies see a virtual video card and that card does not have anywhere near enough bells and wistles to run aero, why would you have to "Turn off Aero"? It would never allow you to turn it on given the virtual adaptor. And you may have noticed, but probably don't care (nor do I) that you had to violate the Vista license in order to install it in a Virtual Machine. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'll fire up a VMWare workstation and generate a vista machine tomorrow to see how it goes. Wear rubber gloves, and use plenty of ventalation.

That makes perfect sense, except when I turned it off, I got a marked performance increase.... don't understand it, but there it is... And I believe that ultimate can be installed in VM without violating the license agreement. ~mike No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Yes, it's not the officially supported version... I believe I'm using 5.5.x

What version of VMWare are you talking about, I think 6.0 is the first one to support it officially??

and it runs here "just like XP" on the free (as in beer) vmware server, latest edition.

I must admit, I did not read about "official support" before I did it. Just installed from dvd for testing a cygwin and unison installation and...it works, just as it was official. ;-))

This is good to know. I was expecting it to work as Solaris 10 is also experimental but for the little time I have spend running it I have had no problems. VMWare 5.5.4 Workstation and open Solaris 10 to be exact. regards, george

kind regards Eberhard
