Yes, this is what I'm worried about. I'd hate to get a laptop and find out that the audio drivers don't support mixing, the wireless support is nonexistent, and the screen was punched in by a crazed Apple user. (I guess that last point is still valid even if I didn't want to put FreeBSD on it.)

Never found much love for FreeBSD in VMWare but if you can get it working to your needs, it could be more convenient then reboots.
I'm not sure what you mean. What problems did you have with it?
