    Why my VMs are running on VMWare rather than Virtual Server.

    I never need to remember to stop and disable the "Beep" service on a VMWare virtual.  Whereas whenever I put a VM up on VS 2005, I invariably get to the part where the VM Additions prompt me to reboot...

     

    ...and that system "BEEP!" makes me jump halfway out of my skin, usually while I was trying to quietly multi-task during a staff meeting.

     

    For those of you who are trying to figure out how to stop said annoying BEEP!...fire up a command prompt and enter the following 2 commands (note the space before "disabled" in the 2nd command, it is intentional and required.)

    net stop beep

    sc config beep start= disabled
