Virtual Machine (Page 1 of 2)

When I was learning about networks and virus, I used VMware a lot,
VMware is(or was) a bit messy, but Microsoft Virtual PC is much more
“clean" .
To use VMware or virtual PC you need at least a Windows 2000 with
96/128 MB, better more…

VMware Workstation 5.5

Heheheheheh
Glad to help.
BTW, what is the meaning of  "right eye"  ?

Interesting and also he is the first with the picture and with the answer, but
this coincidence has any “hidden" meaning or this right eye “stuff" has any meaning ?
Something like right eye means XXXX and left eye means YYYY.

Amazing, you guys never let any drop escape

I know this is an old thread. I think Windows ME is considered one of the worst products ever released by MS. I would recommending using a different O/S if you can.

A little bit of news on virtualization:

As of today, Microsoft has announced that Virtual PC will be availble as a free download to anyone who wants a copy.  We've already made Virtual Server available for free, so it only makes sense that Virtual PC should follow suit.  (Note: This does not include Virtual PC for Mac.)

Virtualization breaks out (article links 7 sub-articles with lots of details of the state of virtualization)

New technology offerings from hardware, software, and OS platform vendors are lowering the barrier of entry to server virtualization, creating IT opportunities like never before

I've been using VMware under XP to run a virtual linux system, took a little hacking to get Fedora Core 5 to work. and also have done the reverse running VMware for linux to run XP inside a virtual machine. I think VMware is the leader right now but it's a hot topic and there are several other options. Parallels was just released for Mac OSX (I think universal binary). From the free linux angle Xen looks pretty good, but I don't think it supports running Windows so it may not be useful for desktop users.

If you got the driver support to run a stable linux system, and you don't need the speed of running windows natively (3d gaming/directx, or pro-audio/ASIO). I would run a linux host with an XP guest to use those few applications on XP.

Thanks for the Update

A Blast from the past !

Regarding ME:

Ya, I've heard the same thing - But in 6 (+) years i've experienced zero problems - Of course it's the only thing I 'know'.......

Also, for whatever reason, caring about comp gadgets, the newest this and that is becoming less and less.......
