The wiki download page
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Download_ReactOS
shows the latest stable version (0.29) and a link to the nigthly builds thread, however in the latter, the nightly builds thread doesn't refer to release candidates download page.
I think the wiki down page should should show the release candidates, or at least they should be shown in the forum thread.

I've seen that many times VMPlayer is referred.
Since a couple of months ago, VMWare Server has been released as free, and it can be used to create/modify and manage virtual machines, so I think it should be pointed out to use VMWare server instead of the Player.

VMWare Reactos image uses old version of vmware, i think the latter should be used (old images can be converted with a click); also a dvd-rom isn't shipped in the virtual machine
