Yeah,
I have installed VMware w/s on sid without a hitch.
My only hickup was with Microsoft, as the virtual machine was not recognized
as a Dell laptop, and therefore I was requested "to buy a legal copy" upon
registration. I called MS and explained that I was actually installing a
legal copy of XP Pro in a virtual machine and they OK'ed my registration.
Further no problems apart from an absolutely abysmal network performance.
About a 1/3 of my normal throughput under Linux.
