I've never had a problem with the virtual hardware. I wouldn't hesitate it works great. I don't find it's particularly usable with X though - it's just a little too sluggish on the host machines I've used. I have lots of vmware images kicking around with different bits of server linux and solaris - it's a great way to solve problems without messing up your real deployment environment. This is the first time I've run Windows on Ubuntu though - it's neat! cheers, Evan. I’ve run ubuntu several times on vmware on windows, including Hardy.
