Disable the need for Signed Drivers on X64 Vista?

Is it possible to disable the need for Signed Drivers on the 64bit version
of Vista?

"bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" no longer works, and F8
and selecting to disable it doesnt seem to work either as when I install
VMWare Server the driver install still fails.

So is there any way to disable the need for signed drivers just to install
this software, or for good?

Thanks.

Pressing F8 does work, even though Vista gives messages saying that it wont
allow the loading of the VMWare Server drivers.

Then to get it running, press F8 on reboot, and select the option to disable
the need for Signed drivers. This needs doing each time you would want to
use VMWare Server, or anything else using unsigned drivers.

This method will do until VMWare release a version with signed drivers.
