This panel asks which operating system you plan to install in the virtual machine.
Select both an operating system and a version.

information when it names associated virtual machine files.
If the operating system you plan to use is not listed, select Other for both guest
operating system and version.
The remaining steps assume you plan to install a Windows XP Professional guest
operating system. You can find detailed installation notes for this and other
guest operating systems in the VMware Guest Operating System Installation Guide,
available on the VMware Web site or from the Help menu.
