1/11    I just installed Fedora 3 on VMware 3.2.0. Everytime I boot up,
        I get this error: "Setting vaddr to 0x0
        VMX|Msg_Post: Error
        VMX|[msg.log.monpanic] *** VMware Workstation internal monitor error ***
        VMX|BUG F(104):1147 bugNr=116
        Aneone else encountered this problem? I looked in their knowledge
        base but nothing on this particular error...
        \_ I've heard that the Fedora people do some crazy things for
           apparently no good reason other than to spite VMware.
           \_ so who has VMware + Linux + XP working, and what versions?
           \_ I caved in and have decided to download VMW 5 beta. Is there
              a time limit before it expires?
              \_ Yes, but I doubt it's less than a few months.
                \_ hm, I'd hate to reinstall VMW again when it expires. I
                   maybe that's actually good news, because if it doesn't
                   expire for a few months, that's enough time to find a free
                   warez version somewhere...
                   \_ Buy the damn software, you're using it.
                      \_ Don't listen to this man. Go find the warez. I see it
                         on bittorrent right now. Come on, do it.
                   \_ Uhm, I work at VMware...
                        \_ what's your email? Could I contact you please? thx
                           \_ You think a VMware employee is going to help
                              you pirate his own product???

9/21    are you guys really all using win7 in some way now?
        \_ Yes.  In my company, we have upgraded all our machines for
           development, QA and other office use (HR, Finance, Receptions, etc.)
           from WinXP to Win7 a few months ago.  Our products now primarily
           support Win7/Win2008 and secondarily support WinXP/Win2003.
           \_ Any weird gotchas support-wise?

8/3     VMWare + Windows XP + Validation question. I need to test stuff with
        Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I
        actually *bought* a copy, please don't flame me for supporting evil
        M$). Is it possible to register the key once, and then duplicate it
        for testing purposes?  Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
        disable the rest the copies?

7/28    Does it make sense to defragment disks on VMWare? My 80GB disk
        on VMWare isn't really using 80GB, it just uses what it needs.
        Will defragment do anything to it?
        \_ If you want to speed up disk operation in your VM, it's best to
           defragment the disks in your VM, then defragment the disk on your
           host machine where the VM files are.

7/17    Should I get VMWare Fusion or Parallels 4? I don't want to use
        VirtualBox because it's kind of slow.
        \_ Yes

7/17    -rw-r--r--@
        What does the "at sign" mean? This is on Mac OS. VMWare disk file.
        \_ The file has metadata attributes
           \_ How do I add/delete attributes to files? What about
              -rw-r--r--+ <-- what is the "+" sign? Also how do you make
              tar preserve these attributes?

5/2     why would my php application chew up 20-30 percent of my CPU when
        run on a real machine, but will consitently take up 60-70 percent
        of CPU when run in a vmware vm ?
        \_ the real CPU has more capacity.
           \_ Yes, did you allocate all of your CPU to the VM? Maybe you only
              gave it one CPU or something like that.
