I rarely use VMWare on Windows, but use it fairly often on my Slackware system to host Windows and other linux distros. I don't use sound, as I shut it off within the instance. Aside from that, I haven't had any issues. If you're having problems, make sure you're loading the VM tools within each instance. Fedora will run on VMWare, as well as be the host OS for VM instances with very few problems. -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit.
