I just have updated successfully to DXHH3 using VMWare.

Just make sure you have enough RAM for it to run absolutely without swapping, also set it to High Priority to prevent possible interruptions of upload. Dual core CPU will help too.

I've used my friends XP the other day but that also didn't work.

I don't think its such a big risk really. Several people already reported success with VMWare on Vista in this forum, and there were no reports of failures yet. So I would guess its pretty much the same risk as updating at all.
I know that VMware usb bridge is somewhat less tolerant in timings than pure usb port, but it appears not that relevant with pretty slow usb rom upload speeds.

Basically I had a choice - to update on PC with XP without UPS or to update on laptop with Vista in VMware. I decided that risk of power outage is much more real ;)
