Ive never known workstation to not do it - you may have configuration
issues!

Am in the process of upgrading from 5 to 6.5 this morning on my work
laptop :)

1, 3_>4->5 have all created VM's for me, and so should 6 (its actually
my justification to the boss for purchase, creating VM's compatible with
the latest vmware)

I use qemu at home and its lot easier to deal with than vmware - but its
slightly slower than vmware (I use win2k in it there) and USB is not in
the same class so its not suitable for everything :(
