SW ,HW,OS Compatibility note

I am trying to gather links and resource in terms of checking Compatibility when design, deploy or upgrade...

The VMware Compatibility Guide shows the certification status of operating system releases for use as a Guest OS by the following VMware products:
• VMware ESXi/ESX Server 3.0 and later
• VMware Workstation 6.0 and later
• VMware Fusion 2.0 and later
• VMware ACE 2.0 and later
• VMware Server 2.0 and later
