• Not really. Zenoss is POSIX based, and usually only runs on the various *nix’s with varying degrees of ease. So, you cannot install Zenoss onto Win32 for instance directly. • You CAN use VMWare to run the appliance (an rPath Linux) on anything VMWare runs on, including Windows. But you’re not really installing on Windows, and you still will need to have Linux knowledge to extend, customize and troubleshoot your rPath Linux install. • Any install of Zenoss, native or VMWare can monitor the same things.
