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 :( BillK
