Trying aros on my laptop...

AROS has no problem dual booting with win7, i have done that myself.

Rough procedure is
-Install win7 but leave some room on the drive that is free and unpartitioned. 5-10 GB should be plenty.
-Install AROS selecting the option "Use free space on drive" to maintain the windows partition.
-AROS will install GRUB, detect the win7 partition and create a boot entry in GRUB for win7 and AROS

I think it is more in volved then just copying files, i think there is a guide showing how to do this on the icaros homepage. (see cammy's sig for link)

... but what happened to the VMware version?

Has this been phased out for some reason? I really like the idea of just being able to load it right up in Virtualbox, try it out and all without having to create partitions, mess with Grub or install anything.

Yes it was phased out, due to difficulty supporting differnt virtual machines i think.

You can easily boot the live version using qemu which come in the archive along with a boot script to load it straight up.
