No surprise there. VMware treats most hard working people like crap:
Class action lawsuit case No. 07CC01368 (superior Court, County of 
Orange) Interesting comments from their employees:

It started well but went down hill after the IPO and Diane Green ouster. 
Management has no real plans beyond 3 months, they faked a number of 
certification tests (2007-2009), and HR is totally clueless.

My last year at VMW was the worst experience in my career thanks to a 
bully manager Kenneth Hass.

Their technology was great but best people left so they have to "keep 
buying other innovators" for fresh ideas.

Better use free Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) Virtualbox. I installed 
EMC2 from a downloaded CD image. EMC2 works well in test mode (non-RT) 
only of course.

Workstation: Ubuntu 10.10
Video card: Nvidia 9800GT, with 2 monitors
VirtualBox: 4.0.4
