I have a Workstation 7 licence and recently I have been trialling Workstation 8.
Disappointingly, I am still unable with Workstation 8 to run desktop effects in Ubuntu guests (as was the case before also with Workstation 7).
Desktop effects such as Wobbly Windows (Compiz) do not work in either 10.04, 10.10 or 11.04.
Additionally, 11.04 cannot run its Unity interface (even though it runs just fine when installed with a WUBI install on my machine, hence no hardware issue).
I have tried both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 as hosts, to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideea how to get these running? I cannot believe that Workstation 8 would be so limited.
