VMWare again

[john.abreau-3flU0AWMlV4AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org (John Abreau)]

I was helping one fo the guys at work with VMware on Friday; it was the
first time I tried Workstation on a Windows XP host; I normally run it
with a Linux host. Whenever he took the focus off of VMware to do other
things, we found that VMware just stopped; it didn't continue running in
the background the way it does on a Linux host.

Also, I gave VMware Server a try last week; I have a server for rsync
backups that's essentially idle during the workday, so I installed vmware
server there to try it out. Running it on a separate machine gave it
much better performance than running Workstation on my laptop, much
more so that I had expected.
