VMWare workstation 6.5 with Unity on Ubuntu

I am forced to use M$ Lookout at work. I just cannot be productive on windoze, so I have been trying various options to work from ubuntu but still still be able to access all the internal tools. I am delighted to say I have found the perfect solution. VMWare Converter allowed me to export my existing windows partition/installation as a virtual machine image. VMWare workstations 6.5 beta allowed to me run this in Ubuntu with great ease. The unity feature in this release is very impressive. The screenshot show how it looks to have unity enabled on a virtual machine.

I just installed Nimbus Look and Feel on ubuntu as mentioned in this blog , but retained the 'Human' (the ubuntu default) icon pack, and the result looks great.
