Thanks Tom, 
    I'll see if I can get my hands on Version 4 but in the mean time
Version 3 will have to do.  With Windows 2003 released version had a few
unexpected crashes with version 3.
 
Thanks again!

        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?
