VMware Player Questions

[Serapis]

Hello to all, I've just registered to Wilders today. Since many of you are security experts, there are a few things I would like to ask you.

I have heard that the newest beta version; VmPlayer 3.0 now has the ability to create images of the Host system. If I use it to do so, will I have to purchase aditional windows licenses in order to run the image of the native system?
(I have Vista Home)

Will the image that I create, require as much HDD space to install as currently taken so far?

How does the endpoint security level compare to that of Vm Workstation?

How do I go about recovering files that I want to keep, by transfering them from the Guest to the Host PC?
