A preview of Windows Vista

[scottsch]

Actually, this is a preview of drag-and-dropping files to Vista running in VMWare.

• It works the first time.
  
• The second (or third) time, nothing happens and VMUser.exe hogs the VM's CPU.
  
• I kill VMUser and restart it. A third of the time, this works.
  
• I restart the Vista VM. 4 minutes later, there is a 20% chance this worked.
  
• I exit VMWare, kill all

I've never been happy with vmware drag and drop (version 4.05). Its just too slow. Network shares work well - but it sounds like there's more going here!

Version 5 works a bit better. I rarely have problems with VMs running XP or 2000 any more.
