Two questions about VMwareTools documentation have come up recently. After a fairly detailed search on Google I came across my own post of an officail VMware documenation. It is very interesting that this applies to WS 7 and up (seems the same as for WS 9 which is very interestinig - at least to me) VMwarel will come up with a GUI version of the Tools in a future release I was told)). Here is the link

Don't know what you consider a "fairly detailed search" to be, however what I consider a simple search it's the second hit!

Its the result that counts! Anyway Google search is very strange - the link to the documentation using the same serach times did not come up even on the first page for me. I've been composing a reply and haven't posted it yet and its shows up in a Google search!. I was logged into Google at the time - were you? Just curious - really.
This doumentation is very interesting in many respects. Since the devs have now enable WS to compoile on kerrnel 3.9 rc4 without a patch or sym link (congrats!!) I think they'll be able to program a GUI for Tools again real soon now

No I was not logged into Google at the time however after flushing cache and cookies I logged in and it's the top hit!

Do I do what with every Google Search, get the wanted results in the top hits, yes usually!
If you're referring to clearing the cache and cookies I did that so as not to skew the search results since I had previously searched using that string and didn't want to walk over to a different computer that I hadn't search using that string from!
I mention Google's search methods because I multiboot 4 OS's (all WS enabled - to share VM's) and that might - or might not - make a difference. For allI know Google is searching queriesand keywords as well as Websites to speed up its fetching.
