I am run vmware3 on 6-CURRENT without significant problems with winXP
inside.
Some issues:
- sometimes (very rare) whole system (including mouse) stop for some
seconds (like under very heavy load), then it passes
- sometimes vmware popups window with warning like
"...disk..., argument list too long. <Retry> <Cancel>",
retry helps in this case
- I've failed to see my WinXP real partition under vmware like I was
do before. Configured plain disk not seen properly under vmware.
