[one-users] Trying to run opennebula using VMWare on Windows

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Manish,

That is very valuable information, i had always got away using the
FQDN. I'm updating the development doc right now.

Regarding the VI SDK version, it is suppose to be backwards
compatible, but check the 2.5 version better (sorry, I didn't realize
this).

Regards,

-Tino
