Could I install VMWare 5.5 on it?

I managed to install it by installing Windows 2008 Standard but I upgraded the RAM to 32GB and the drives as well to the Western Digital 1TB 10,000rpm drives. It works but is not fast.

I don't see why not. Make sure that VMWare 5.5 supports the particular hard drive controller in the unit you buy. That's probably going to be the only thing that would prevent Vmware from working.

If you order it from a brand distributor, then yes. If you order it through a marketplace seller, then you'll want to check with the seller that the software included, and that it still has installations available.

You can, however I would not use it in a production environment. It is extremely slow unless you configure the vm swap file to local storage on the host.

The system comes preloaded with Windows 7. I suppose you could wipe it out and install XP, but why?As an alternative, why not get VMware player (for free) and install XP as an alternate choice OS within the Windows 7 environment?

I do not know. I have not tried installing newer or newest software, but it would be great as this sucks. Thanks.

Interesting scenario. Have you contacted Lenovo to see if they can send you 32 bit disks? Licensing forbids multiple installations from one license. Some of the Windows 7 came with virtual XP (32bit), could you app run on that?

Oddly enough, I read the VMWare Fusion documentation a few days ago. It says yes. I haven't personally tried it, though.

This NIC is listed as approved in VMware HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) but you need to be sure the rest of the hardware is listed to on HCL

The instruction manual says yes! Just pick the software at time of installation.

It's just hardware you can install whatever you want on it. I installed esx 5.5

Question - If you wanted to upgrade its hardrive, how do you get the Home Server Software installed on it?

I haven't used Vpro on it, but I did install VMware Hypervisor and it showed that as being available in the system properties. That was one of the reasons I went with this chipset is the Vpro. VMware worked great - only issue I had with it was I had to create a custom install patch with the updated Intel drivers.

I'm also looking for this upgrade but I have a feeling we've been given bad information. I don't see anywhere on the VMware website about a free upgrade for recently purchased product. Only a paid upgrade. Chris L, where is it that you are entering your serial number online?

I have mine setup with Oracle VM Virtualbox, on Debian. At the moment I only have one virtual machine, but I can run the Debian desktop easily with the VM running. I will add another VM, but I think you have to be realistic with the amount of memory available and a single processor.

I have a 1TB drive in it currently hosting my VMware ESXi Server. And it has I believe 3 or 4 sata ports on the mother board if I remember correctly. Because I have an sata dvd drive and two hdds in it currently with one other sata port available if I remember correctly.
