Windows 7 Annoyances
In my experience upgrading to Windows 7, there are naturally some bumps in the road. I have to say, it has been remarkably smooth and I am glad I skipped the entire Vista debacle (I replace Vista Basic with XP on my laptop when I got it years ago).
Here are a few things I ran into and what I had to do:
VMware VSphere
VMware VSphere will install, but it complains when trying to connect to the ESX server. Unfortunately I didn’t record the error message (actually you get two separate ones), but anybody will experience it when using VSphere. Fortunately, there is a solution:

The only difficulty was editing the VpxClient.exe.config file. For some reason, even though I had administrative access as well as file ownership, I couldn’t save my changes. My IT administrator was able to save the changes for me, however.
