Windows 7 VM Online
After installing the VMWare tools I had to remove and re-add the "virtual" network card to get it working.
Here it is running our application without problems it seems.
Windows 7 Problems on a VM
It can't find a driver for the VMWare's virtual network or sound cards, even although other people haven't had issues with installing it on VM Fusion.
Same on VirtualBox as well.
Converting a Virtualbox virtual machine to VMWare
This covers converting from VirtualBox to VMWare not the other way around.
I’ve search the net and all the instructions seemed to be long winded using third party products as a middle step. Things have moved on this might be easy now.
With VirtualBox 2.2.2 you can export your machine as an Appliance using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). The VMWare vCenter Converter 4.0.1 (free download) imports OVF Appliances.
Sounds too good to be true?
Opera 10 Beta
So far I'm impressed with it, so much I've made it the default browser for now.
It kick the Safari 4 beta off this spot.

Saving data
Windows refused to start even in safe mode so I used Puppy Linux to copy the files between the disks.
Now need to get a new(ish) 80+GB IDE disk to put in the machine.
