Whenever I open Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 while VMware Workstation is opened, Workstation either hangs or crashes. I don't believe this behaviour is necessary nor is it graceful.

I know there are some animosities between MS and VMware, but it should not go that far to chastise users for their choice of software. As long as VMware products are used, money has been earned. There's no reason to fight after the deal has been made.

interesting - just two days ago a VMware engineer claimed that this was fixed. Are you using WS build 203739

No, you're right. I've just heard that Workstation 7 is available. I've just bought it and am still downloading. I guess, now that if you say so, this problem will surely be fixed. I wasn't aware that the new version was already available. Sorry for that.
