I installed Windows Server 2008 Standard in a VMWare Server VM today. Before I installed the VMWare tools, it did not recognize the NIC. Well, that obnoxious "why your PC doesn't work right" wizrd came up a bit later... and as you can see in the screenshot, it seems to think that I am using Windows Vista! Obviously, someone needs to go through the database and change the problem summaries; the full description had a more generic, "your version of Windows..." message. J.Ja

Re: Windows Server version Vista? Well, that's different.FWIW, I believe Windows Server 2008 shares the *same kernel* as Vista SP1.

Just saw this today Over on the Tech-Rep, Paul Mau's Blog to be spacific. [ http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=467 ] But I guess you already saw that. There are also some issues with the Time reconciliation and Time sync to the physical machine. (With a Linux OS as Base, but I can't say it was limited to that. ) I think ther a quite a few up-dates out or comming. -d
