  1. Old news now. The way to run is with Workstation 8 – Think of all the improvement there are in WS8 with all that new ESX knowledge VMWare have gleaned since making Server 2.

    • Agreed Al,

      Workstation 8 does have alot of advanteges over the old VMWare Server 2 App. However for the Small Business or Home User Euthusiest who necessarily does not have the $200 dollars to shell out for a license to use Workstation 8 this still a good cost prohibitive soloution and will still run just about anything up to WIndows 7/2008 R2 Server.
