Dedicated followers of this blog will remember my complaints about VMware never being able to provide a working installation.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 I had to reinstall VMware. 6.5.2 did not work, 6.5.3 required a trick to circumvent the hangup in the installation procedure.
Two days after getting 6.5.3 installed, my VMware Workstation informed me that there was a new update out. Should I bother going through another hour of nightmare? I read release notes, nothing special: Windows 7 gaming support at the most. Who needs that?
I was reluctant to install. Finally I got myself up to get it over and done with:
Surprise, surprise.
VMware Workstation took longer than any other installation before but it worked out of the box (or installer bundle).
One gets modest over times: Thank you VMware for providing a software that installs, works and performs. (in fact, this is how it should have been all along).
