OK, so I need help... I tried installing Windows Vista on VMWare (I think it's Vista Beta 2). All works fine, installed VMTools, ... but can't get the network to work.
Normally it should be bridged, but I have no idea if that actually works...
So, does anyone have a solution for it or should I just burn the image to a DVD an install Vista on a free 50GB partition? 
Thanks,
-- Bekko
Ok, I got it to work by adding another ethernet device... 
Time for FF2
Before you install to much stuff on Beta 2, you might like to now that RC1 (build 5600) is out. Right now it is officially only available to a limited group, but it will be available to all Beta 2 testers in a few days. RC1 performance is so much better - and memory usage is almost half that of Beta 2, very nice specially when running virtualized where memory is often limited.
Does Vista RC1 include IE7 RC1 or IE7 Beta 3? I'm getting fed up of installing and uninstalling IE7 constantly.

I just installed this for testing I hope the download of RC1 won't be that big...

This should explain quite a bit 
You can also find some sort of timetable somewhere there
elbekko: The RC1 ISO is 2.7GB, I call that a big download - but it installs extremely quick, about 15min for a clean install.
Paul: I'm not sure how IE7 for XP and IE7+ in Vista compares, but I guess IE7+ in Vista RC1 is largely equivalent to IE7 RC1. About the uninstalling IE7, it's my understanding that there is no need to uninstall from IE7 RC1 forward.
I meant I have to keep uninstalling to go back to IE6. I need to be able to test in both constantly.

That's alot better than the 4.7GB download of Beta 2
I'm looking forward to it ^^

That's why I haven't tried it yet, I need to fire up IE 6 to test my sites also.

You have a point there. That's why VMWare is handy
