I've been in two previous weekend betas. As much as I'm looking forward to this game, and as much respect as I have for BioWare, these betas are being treated blike average MMO playtime for a lot of people. I stopped paying attention to general chat 3seconds after rolling my first character.

The sad reality of it is that "Barrens" chat is, and will probably always be, part of MMO culture and the overall MMO experience.

As for the original subject: I'm going to try VMware later this evening. Fortunately 'll have my laptop for the first few hours of beta.
