It's as if you've got two separate boxes. So, you've got Samba to
share filesystems, and IP to network. The samba setup is very easy,
vmware takes care of it. The windows networking is easy as well,
you can set up static IPs or DHCP.

As far as I know VMWare Express is a full version.

More memory is always better, but it runs fine with 64M.
