I am run vmware3 on 6-CURRENT without significant problems with winXP
inside.

Some issues:
  - sometimes (very rare) whole system (including mouse) stop for some 
    seconds (like under very heavy load), then it passes
  - sometimes vmware popups window with warning like 
    "...disk..., argument list too long. <Retry> <Cancel>", 
    retry helps in this case
  - I've failed to see my WinXP real partition under vmware like I was 
    do before. Configured plain disk not seen properly under vmware.
