And with all the snapshot/clining functionality, VMWare gives you way more degrees of freedom. Ralf |

You just don't get snapshots and versioning unless you pay for their Workstation product. Virtual PC doesn't have those either, so I think the free version of VMWare may have just as many features as Virtual PC, or more. -- Herb |

Lance Rasmussen Jazzie Software Team Elevate | MS's free one does not support USB ports.
Since I test things with dongles, etc, that is... well.... kinda important. I've worked a little with VPC. And a lot with VMWare. To be honest... for $199... its an awsome tool. They just released V6.0 which has dual monitor, USB 2.0, multiple processors, etc etc. Lance "Adam H." <ahairsub4@rREMOVEMEspamSTOPPER.jvxp.com> wrote in message news:E579D2FE-7882-43C8-BF37-19D833530064@news.elevatesoft.com... > Hi Ralf, > >>> I don't think MS *has* to do anything, do they? >> >> Please remember that I am not a native speaker > > Sorry - completely forgot.

"Adam H." | Well Lance,
You guys won me over. I trialled VM6, and went and paid the $199 (even though I'd been using the 'free' Virtual PC from Microsoft). Still getting used to it, but must say it does seem to have quite a number of benefits (including the fact that it actually runs Linux properly!) The only problem I have is that I've got a 2.0Ghz (single core) laptop with 1GB of Ram. Not sure how having a Virtual Machine with XP and Delphi will run under those conditions, or whether I should be sourcing another notebook. Cheers Adam. |
