    - Dynamically Download the latest VMware Tools package only when you need it.
    - Configure your VMs to use Multi-core and 4-way CPUs.
    - Print from your VM without installing printer drivers. Virtual Printing courtesy of our friends at ThinPrint.
    - Automatically create snapshots on scheduled intervals with AutoProtect.
    - Secure your Virtual Machines with 128-bit encryption.
    - ALSA Sound support on Linux hosts enables multiple VMs to play "music" concurrently.

    Running 7.0.0 build-197124 on Windows 7 Ultimate RC x64 and RTM x64.

    It runs great on both machines and didn't break any VM I had. Also the two previous beta worked just as well.

    It's always faster to test yourself :)

    Probably not. I haven't seen any beta invites and the development of VMware Server is quite slow anyways.
