Way to go Andrew. I also use a multi boot system that runs DOS 7.0 (only on Fat32 files), XP twice, Win 7 home, Win 7 Ultimate and now the trial version of Windows 8.1 (by far the most unfriendly version of windows I have seen). My Win 7 Home also has VMware and virtual Linux, XP and Windows 98.2e. However Win 98 2e is very limited in attaching to peripherals.

PS I will talk to my VMware contact and see if there is any work arounds.
