Funny reading but my experience was quite different.

Installed, ran and worked without troubles..

Same for me!
Windows 7 BETA works fine on 4 different systems, and much quicker then vista!

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

Already had this impression because I run Vista from an emulator and 7 was much quicker to setup and run under 1Gb of RAM.

I thought this was a glitch in matrix but then I ran on real hardware and it is fast!

Does anybody know if it is possible to get a XP/2k3 like explorer with windows7 ?

In a VM windows7 feels much faster than Vista

Don't like the new taskbar - I liked the quick launch toolbar so you can separate programs to start from running programs.

Cannot get VMWare networking to work so for me its useless.

Also have problems resuming from hybrid sleep - some times my USB mouse / keyboard are lost so have to do a hard reboot.

Also out of the box it did not support my Tekram scsi card. Had to extract the drivers from Vista.

As host or as guest ?
Both has been reported to work at VMTN

use ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" inside a VM

Windows 7 X64 is the host. The guest is xp + sp3. Virtual nic is e1000. Tried both NAT and bridged.

You are not alone - several workstation users mentioned non functional network with windows 7 64bit.

Does
net start vmnetbridge
produce any errors ?

readable article.
Win 7 is still in the Beta testing stage I believe. I looked into it, but did not try it. It seems nice. Has some pretty cool new features. I wouldn't spend a whole lot of money upgrading just for a few new things.
