Rey, the installation of the vms can/are be much simpler then the instructions in your article. A Vmware company tech helped me. Instead of opening Vmware Fusion and then following the steps you describe to create a vm, do this:
- Download the vmware zip
- Open with the unarchiver
- Double click the .vmwarevm file and it will open in Fusion and gets installed

That's all! Hope this will help others.

You can put the .vmwarevm wherever you want in your filesystem. I put mine with the others in /Documents/Virtual machines.
