I have my install running in VMWare on Win2K3.  OS for the scanner is Ubuntu
7.04.  No problems at all, it doesn't scale as well as native Linux.  It
does however scale better on the 2 CPU 2gb Ram VMWare machine than it did on
the 8 CPU 16 gb Ram Win2k3 box.  Its about 4 times faster for the same
tasks.

I am hoping to move my VM Machine to ESX soon and I think it will peform a
bit better there aswell.
