I can tell you from experience that if you tell Oracle that you've found a major defect in a flagship product, they'll ask you to prove it, and if you prove it, all hell breaks loose. It gets fixed pdq. No such thing with Windoze. You'll probably get no reaction from MS or they'll even claim it's a "feature".

Network performance in Windoze is a known problem (especially if you are using gigabit interfaces) which has caused masses of bust-ups. Read this link just as an example, there's plenty more.

Are You Seeing Slow Windows 7 Network Performance?

It just goes on and on.

I recommend moderators move this thread to the Windows forum.

Yes, I agree. If my response was unclear, allow me to clarify. What I was referring to is a potential issue between the VMware layer (and the user's configuration on his personal computer) and samba. This would certainly not indicate any issue with Samba but, at best, an incompatibility between it's implementation and his specific virtualization technique.

Apologies if I created any confusion. It would be almost impossible for Solaris' implementation of Samba to be the source of the problem.

NAME

       vmsync - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmsync

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  Linux  kernel  module.  It	isn't  backed  by  a  virtual hardware device, so it must be loaded manually. It is depended on by
       vmware-guestd(8), so ideally it should be loaded prior to starting vmware-guestd(8) (though vmware-guestd(8) can function without it). This
       module is used for freezing and thawing the filesystem.

OPTIONS

       vmsync has no options.
