Re: vmware and hyper-v

I am running Hyper-V Windows 8 and VMware Workstation 9.x side-by-side. This is what I did.

1) Made sure Hyper-V role was disabled

2) Installed VMware

3) Re-enabled Hyper-V role

4) Made the following entry in the my vmx that I wanted to fire up to allow nested VMs

     vmx.allowNested = "TRUE"

I needed VMware, since the Linux Integration Services capabilities is poor for Hyper-V on Win8. Specifically talking about graphics display.  For all Windows based VMs, I use Hyper-V.
