I've got it running on both my FC4 boxes, and the one VM I use is WinXP, created on a WinXP workstation running VMWare - it works well.The catch is that you can't create a new virtual machine with the free player, although you can get a 30-day demo of workstation, create some, and continue to run them with player after the demo expires if you don't need the extra workstation features enough to buy it. The new server version released in beta may include the ability to create machines too - I haven't had time to try it yet. But the player is a great thing to have around and nice to try out new versions of OS's and applications that people are packaging at http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/community.html. If you've ever thought about trying to install or test something but held back because you were afraid you'd screw up your machine, this is the solution.
There was recently some discussion on this very topic on
Fedora Legacy.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
