Can this run on VMWare?

I am running it on VMWare and it works like a charm. I am writing from WebPositive, the integrated browser, and it's prety awesome.
As others have noted, yes.
You may want to install the VMware add-ons via HaikuDepot after installation:
1. Applications > HaikuDepot
2. Tools > Refresh repositories
3. uncheck "Show only featured packages"
4. search for or scroll down to "VMware add-ons"
For access to shared folders, use christiaan's suggestion found in the Ratings tab (instead of the instructions found in the About tab):
-> mkdir /boot/home/VMware
-> mount -t vmwfs -o localhost/Volumes/VMware /boot/home/VMwareYes! It most certainly works on VMWare, I chose the Other/64Bit setting with legacy BIOS
I have never used VMWare to run Haiku, but it should run. I use VirtualBox and the one thing that I have to do is switch the network driver to the Intel Pro device to get networking working. So with VMWare you might need to do something similar.
