I wonder if you, and others willing to add to the bounty (I might be
one, and have passed this on to someone else who might be another) might
be better off considering vmware-server, rather than workstation.
Depending upon needs, (mine is to simply have a working Windows
installation, only to run a few relatively undemanding programs) it
might be sufficient--also, it is free at present. (As in Free Diet
Mountain Dew).

Willow: I know it's hard to accept at first. 
Oz: Actually, it explains a lot.
