ESXi Hypervisor - Guest OS startup on Boot question

$

Hi All,

 

I'm very new to the VMware game and I intend to start playing with the free products available and gain a good understanding of it.

 

My question that I've currenty got is this:

I have my desktop PC, I intend to install ESXi 5.1 hypervisor on it and then install a version of windows as a guest OS.

I hoped that I can configure it so that when I turn the computer on windows automatically boots - Thus if my wife wants to use the computer she still can and her experiance is no different. However I can then install multiple other OS' and activate them as and when I need to and have a good play.

 

Reading through documentation it doesn't look like this is possible?

 

I know this isn't strictly the intended purpose of the product but it would be convienient for me.

 

Has anyone come across this before? / Do you know of a way of doing this?

 

Many Thanks,

Tom Whittle
