Running SQL Server here in a VMWare VM with no issues.
I'm working on a website that I'm slowly converting to PHP.
Half is running ASP, and half PHP. All running in a windows VM without
any issues (once I figured out what the connect string was !).
I wouldn't have chosen SQL Server if I'd had the choice, but that's what
I've got to work with, and it works as well as SQL Server ever does.
