quick summary: this is probably the best vmware version for longhorn's DCE/DWM, especially the Milestone 3 era builds (except 3683). it's also good if you need DWM with aero graphics on post-reset builds,
with hardware rendering.



note: MIGHT NOT WORK WITH RECENT WINDOWS VERSIONS AND CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES SUCH AS BSOD, etc. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For early postreset Longhorn builds, only recent VMware versions with an appropriate driver is needed, at the cost of no blur due to software rendering being enabled.



have fun installing!

my self-insert touhou roleplay (ignore this):
diary: day 1 on gensokyo 
hi, i am sanae, a schoolgirl from the outside world. i'm currently being a miko right now.
i would say, this place is fun, and i can even show my creative bullet patterns to amaze my friends!

oh wait, i have a date with reimu-san now. see you later!


self-insert author notes (ignore this too):
today i meet new friends, it was fun. though my demise is near, i don't even know what should i do at this point.
it's a single chance; if i miss, my life would be over.

for those who have an exam/test: sleep well, maintain a good health and don't be sleepless like me. 
wish you all best luck.
