FC6 using VM with XP pro?

Hello everyone. My friend runs VMware and I believe FC4 as he said that's all that was supported. Maybe at the time, or maybe he just didn't know!
I only have 1 PC and wanted to try Fedora using a Virtual Machine to play around with and see how it is.

What virtual machines do I have to chose from that will work with FC6?

Thanks for any help!

Do you want to use FC as a VMware host or guest? Actually, both will work: I have Fedora Core development version a.k.a. Rawhide running as a VMware guest on a FC6 host.

VmWare should work fine with FC6.
