Last week VMware released a minor update for its desktop virtualization product Workstation.
Despite the numbering anyway the new build (156735) introduces the much needed support for the just release Intel Xeon 5500 CPUs (codename Nehalem) and the extended support for a number of guest operating systems:
| Full Support | Experimental Support |
|
Windows Vista SP1 and SP2 Asianux Server 3.0 SP1 Novell openSUSE 11.1 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 8.10 |
Fedora 11 FreeBSD 7.1 Mandriva Linux 2009 Novell SLES 11.0 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 and 5.3 Sun Solaris 10 Update 6 Ubuntu 9.04 |
