Hi David,
 
No problems with Version 3 or Version 4, *except* you should remove the
USB virtual controller from the VM before installing. Also, if you
upgrade to version 4 and you have a bunch of version 3 images that
you're using, plug and play on the images may lead to some interesting
experiences :-) You might want to recreate your images in version 4.
 
Also, there is a small bug with version 4 that forgets to add a link in
the config file to support the floppy disk, so you need to add that
manaully. Otherwise, I think version 4 is a lot more stable. Make sure
you disable all the VMware services in the Services applet, and that you
disable the virtual interfaces in the Network and Dial-up Connections
window, unless you need to use those (I've never needed to use those
interfaces in any of my test labs, so I always disable them). Disabling
the services and the interfaces will help you avoid more "interesting
experiences" ;-) However, if you need them, don't disable them!
 
I think VMware is miraculous! It removes all excuses for not testing our
your configs before moving them into production. I would consider it
clear evidence of lack of "due diligence" not to test everything in a
VMware lab before implementing it (or a physical lab if you've recently
won the lottery :) ). 
 
HTH,
Tom

        Has anyone ran into issues using VMWare 3.0 workstation with
WS03 and ISA2000?
