Hi David,
 
You should qualify for an upgrade from 3 to 4. Its worth it if you're
doing a lot of work with Win2003. There are also some cool new features,
like shared folders that are accessible between all VMs and the host OS,
and "on the fly" changing of the VMnets.
 
HTH,
Tom

        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?
