[...] Want to install and play with Windows Vista but don’t have extra or spare computer hardware to load the operating system? Windows Vista addicts can use virtualization technology to create a virtual machine on top of their current operating system which will enable the ability to fresh install Windows Vista on the newly created virtual machine. Virtual machine (VM) allows user to try and use the Windows Vista without the need to give up and format the existing partitions installed with other operating system such as Windows XP. However, using VM virtualization products (VMware, Microsoft, Parallels) to host Windows Vista on your existing hardware will likely not be able to benefit from Vista much hyped new graphic interface Aero Glass. VMWare has (currently experimental support) support for Windows Vista as guest OS in several virtualisation products such as VMware Workstation 5.0, 5.5, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3, 6.0 and VMware Server 1.0, 1.0.1 (for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista), VMware ACE 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and VMware GSX Server 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1 (32-bit OS only) and ESX Server 3.0, 3.0.1 (64-bit OS only). Users are encouraged to install VMWare Tools and must set the virtual machine RAM to be a least 512MB of RAM, with hard disk space of at least 16 GB (32-bit Vista) and 24 GB (64-bit Vista). Beside, all configuration changes and drivers installation must be done before activating Windows Vista, as any future changes after product activation might trigger reactivation of Windows Vista gain.
