Interesting. The exact same build on Parallels V8 with Win7 Pro has no issue at all. If not native, is some kid of compatibility mode introduced by the hypervisor? I am reverting back to my original thought of running all GUI based OS's on Parallels and all UNIX/Linux command line OS's on Fusion. I also tried VirtualBox but that is a joke, in my opinion.
Since this configuration does not work with Fuson and does work with Parallels, is this a bug/oversight on VMware's part?
Thanks for the feedback.
