A quick Hyper-V tip - Want to run VMWare Workstation under Windows 2008 without a bluescreen?

Taking a tip from here, and due to the fact, in the current Intel/AMD chip architecture, only one hardware-based hypervisor can run at a time, you will want to create a special boot entry for a Hyper-V-less boot time configuration of Windows 2008.

Assuming you are currently booted into Windows 2008, at an administrative command prompt, type the following:
bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 2008 (No Hyper-V)"

The above command should say:
The entry was successfully copied to {guid}.

Copy that {guid} to the clipboard including the curly braces.

Now, type the following command:
bcdedit /set {guid} hypervisorlaunchtype off

In the above command, replace {guid} with what you into the clipboard.

Boot into the 'Windows 2008 (No Hyper-V)' instance and you will no longer bluescreen while running VMWare guests.
