    I only wonder when Microsoft finally add support Intel vt-x and Amd-v when VBS is turned on all for Virtualbox work fully compatible and then I haven't to what back to VMware if Virtualbox more stable.

    I don't know what give that, if VMware don't let's on download and install tools in windows. Or is fixed and VMware find updates after servers, when is to install VMware tools or find updates?

    It means the VMWare tools are automatically maintained by Windows Updates.

    Ok. So if now i put windows 7 on VMware without that tools what was always install, windows update will find then automatically inside virtual machine? Without make to need install?
    And what better put pvsci or sata controller then in VMware?
    And how look topic about XP/Vista then?

    I don't think it will work with EOL Windows versions.

    On windows 7 came only broadcom system. But tools I needed download from inernet, because vmware still don't lets update.

    And frustrating fact. On my I5 13600KF don't work virtualize vcpu counters performance in vmware. Still come error. With turn on or off vbs. Nevermind how was, only that option don't work. Vt-x still only on turned off vbs work. Virtualize IOMMU with turn on or turn off work.

    In version 17.6.3 they removed:

    The following features are no longer part of VMware Workstation Pro.
    – Unity Mode.
    – Enhanced Virtual Keyboard.
    – Bluetooth hub pass-through.
    – Physical host parallel ports.

    So, which is the last full (uncrippled) version to stick with?

    It isn't as show all USB with devices ?

    Need that? That was told, that driver is dangerous because he take all what you write.

    Need him?

    I think it is general old things. VMWare support usb. You don't need to much PS/2 or I don't know old.

    Is too putted out virtual printers. General now can find physical printer after network and add to virtual machines.

    What doesn't resolve problems with VMWare and updates components. Any updates and you need some account broadcom. I tried make that on Polish regional and it doesn't work to me. So it is make only for kill that products by broadcom.
