While I don't use it for any heavy-duty work (just occasional builds
of NetBSD), I have a NetBSD virtual machine running under VMWare 5.5.3
(Windows XP x64 host OS), and haven't had any problems with it. In terms
of performance, I think X is what benefits the most from having the
VMWare tools installed, but XFree86 and X.org come with a vmware video
driver--you don't need the VMWare tools to get that. I do occasionally
wish that hgfs worked with NetBSD (to be able to mount a portion of the
host filesystem in the guest OS), but smbfs works fine for me, since I
have networking enabled.
