Windows 7 in VMWare Infrastructure 3.5

I have been playing with the RC for Windows 7 in a virtual machine. Is anyone else experiencing freezing when it boots up the first time? It says “Starting Windows” with the logo in the middle, but will go no further. The vCPU in the performance monitor is pegged at 100% the whole time……now, as I write this post it finally boots up! It was literally about 15 minutes frozen on that starting windows logo, but then FINALLY booted……good times.
