What I do not get is if Windows Vista 64 bit is supported or not. Seems like this newest version does support 64 bit Linux distros which is about time!

NB: It breaks with Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Final.

Strange. I had Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Final installed. Installed VMware Workstation 6.0 Beta that day and also got the VMware debug tool bar. See nothing wrong unless I missing something.

Like Increased RAM Support, Support for High-Speed USB 2.0 Devices, Cross-Platform Drag-and-Drop Functionality, Run Virtual Machines in the Background, Automatic Update to the Latest Version of VMware Tools etc etc. |
