Hmmm, it's worked for me on -STABLE for the last 3 years, if that's any 
help...

Haven't tried this year's software yet.

The only software I've encountered that won't run under VMWare is the 
Sybex CCNA Virtual Lab, which believes that its running under a 
debugger, complains, and won't run.

The CCNP Virtual Lab (which Sybex provided as a replacement, after I 
complained), however, works fine.
