Douglas,

I think you need to download VMWare Server (which is free IIRC), the 
players will only allow you to run pre-created images (I think)

Jim,

I run that environment on my T60 with 2Gb of memory and it works very
> well.  Chews up disk in a hurry.


On my desktop PC, disk is not an issue (though it is on my laptop).  While
my laptop has only a 100GB drive (7200rpm), I have nearly 5TB on my 
desktop.

I use XP as the base   environment and run the free VMware client on top.


If I want to use XP Pro as the base, what exactly do I need to download 
from
VMWare in order to set up a virtual Vista client?  Just the VMWare Player?

Based on the little reading I did on the website, I thought I'd need to 
have
a copy of VMWare Workstation to create the "virtual machine" the Player
runs.  If that is not the case, how do I load my copy of Vista using 
VMWare
Players?
