I have Windows 7 running as a VM under VMware on F12.  I did a from 
scratch install of Win7 Ultimate and had no problems.  The Win 7 network 
is bridged to my wireless network and everything works just fine.  The 
only issues I have encountered are related to performance.  When I run 
my Win7 VM on my F12 box it tends to hog memory causing things to run 
slower than if I wasn't running my Win7 VM.  I have 2Gb of memory on my 
system and I have 1Gb of RAM allocated to my Win7 VM.  Things would 
probably run better with more memory.
