Sorry mate, but the docs (and my attempts to install Darwin), and the newsgroups say different. Quoting from the hardware requirements for 6.0.2, "You must have a VESA 2.0 compliant video card. Almost all modern graphics cards are VESA 2.0 compliant. However, emulators such as vmware do not have VESA 2.0 compliant emulated video cards." I had tried to install SkyOS when I first came across it in 2002. Ran into the same issues. Perhaps you can get it installed with some tricks, but I didn't spend the time. The fact is, several new OS's require VESA 2.0 video cards on install, and VMWare does not provide such emulation (I believe it does support 1.0, which is how I get beautiful framebuffer vga screens during my Gentoo install).
C# and the System.* assemblies were created by Microsoft, then submitted. How would this fall under the title of "irrational IP-related legal claims"? Furthermore, what makes this an example of "Microsoft...stealing ideas"? Calm down.

VMWare is NOT compatible with everything except OS/2. Any OS which requires VESA 2 support (Darwin, for instance, or SkyOS), will not work in VMWare.
