VMware have released an official KB regarding the problem that we have all known about for
ummm… how long is it already :) ?

Cannot launch vSphere Client after installing in Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2

I guess that all the traffic that Joep Piscaer was getting on his blog post on the subject will start to slow down now.

VMware – we are still waiting on a permanent fix for this!
