Man what a disappointment! I upgraded because of the promise of 64bit guest support, only to find that it only works on CPUs with VT or AMD-V support. Also, the web UI lacks major polish compared to version 1. It’s fully functional, but it’s very ugly and everything is just crammed in.

Version 1 had a web UI for day to day management (starting & stopping VMs, tweaking networks etc.) and a separate Windows application for console access. VMware tried to make an all powerful web UI for version 2, and integrated the console functionality.

There must have been a backlash More >
