In the case of VMware-server, sound works as long as your client is on the same machine as the server - not over the network, in other words. > How well does this work? vmware seems to have a good reputation. I used to run it quite effectively. It was amusing to have a screen saver running in a window: the one containing VMware. I only stopped using it when I started running XP on a new laptop, which suited me a bit better. -- Rgds Peter
