20 I've decided to stick with vmware-player-3.1.4 for use as a Netflix VM
21 only. All of my real work is done in Virtualbox VMs using both 32-bit
22 NT and 64-bit Win 7. The only problem I've had recently is that my
23 dual monitor Win 7 VM tends to 'abort' about 40% of the time when
24 starting. Once it's up and running it's fine, but getting it started
25 on any day is pretty much hit-or-miss.
