Vista RC1 in VMware

[Klaidas]

Hello :)

Has anyone tried runnign Vista's RC1 on VMware server, Ubuntu 6.06?

I know Beta2 works, but how about this RC?

Thanks,
Klaidas

Yes I have. I used VMware server, with Ubuntu Dapper as the host OS.

Some applications such as firefox work just fine. The built in games eg freecell are very slow since I have not tried to enable any 3D support in the VM.

Samba shares worked for the most part, except that I have not been able to connect to files on the Vista VM from Ubuntu. I can see the Vista files from another VM on the same system running Win NT4 and an XP machine on the local lan.

As for the system I am using a P4 1.8 Ghz with 1.5 gigs of ram and an Nvidia 6200 graphics card.
