I didn't use Vmware..I beleive vmware could not support more than two or three distros may be I am wrong.. If some body use it with Vmware loading nine distros as I do pl.post it here..
Another problem with Vmware is only as the host OS is strong and stable the guest OS (s) can function atleast 60% of its original capabilities.. What if the host Os is not trust worthy(infested) or blowing it self.. all the other OS in the Virtualised block will be wiped out.. So in my method after installing the Windows in C partition then slicing the HDD for the number of required partition then install the Linux distros ( No fedora Pl) in the root partitions of the particular Os than installed the last OS in the MBR ( Ubuntu or it variant) than the ubuntu will show all the Os in the Grub boot loader so you has many choice..If any one of the OS is blowing itself(Windows) all the other OSes are safe...If you want some other new Distro.. simply format the required partition than install the distro there just simply edit the menu.lst entries of Ubuntu about the new OS.. that is all..
Thanking you,
