so don't buy it, just get a 30 day eval to see if it will work for what
you want (the install shots). Once done (whether it worked or not),
delete. You can find out if it will work for nothing. You like it, buy
a personal edition (reasonably priced, IMHO).
As for whether it looks like a real install -- vmware creates a system
in software complete with things like ethernet (PCNet32, if you want to
show specifically loading a RealTek8139, you're out of luck, but
ethernet is ethernet), etc. Also approximates a graphics card and
monitor, though I don't remember which ones.
