Windows 7 in VMWare on Dell Studio XPS with Ubuntu

Was able to get this config up and running.  There’s only one gotcha…

the Dell Studio XPS doesn’t have the Intel VT turned on by default in the bios.  You must enable this AND shutdown the computer completely for it to be recognized by VMWare.  A restart isn’t enough.   This setting is in the Advanced tab in AO7 version of the BIOS.
