I beg to differ with Amarjit on virtualbox being a better host.<br><br>We have been running a virtualization project for the last two years, and virtualbox failed spectacularly on Solaris: we lost money buying a legit version of vmware (but went baremetal on ESX4).<br>
<br>Wash, Is the VM workstation where you are transferring the win2k8 running on x64?

Have you tried Sun System&#39;s oracle virtualbox?
