I'm curious: assuming 'VMware 5.5' refers to VMware Workstation 5.5, why did you choose that over VMware Server 1.0.2, the no-cost product? I don't believe VMware Workstation has any features over VMware Server, and VMware Convertor can copy VMs between versions (if there is a even a difference in format at all) if you needed to move machines from previous setups. -- Matt Piechota
