VMWare/VirtualPC is a phenomenal experience. Oddly enough running XP in a VM on my home PC with 3GB RAM runnning vista home premium, I get a much better development experience with VS2K8 than I do on the host OS. haha, it's weird.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02724331974878888496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369362.post-8351041603117781642009-03-30T09:12:00.000-04:002009-03-30T09:12:00.000-04:00@smnbss As long as you have 4GB of memory and fast disks (7500+ RPMs), it's a very responsive experience...even for day-to-day development.<BR/><BR/>Jeff...Jeff Hunsakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07740484450068986098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369362.post-83954023493222312152009-03-28T22:35:00.000-04:002009-03-28T22:35:00.000-04:00may be this is a good solution if you have to produce only demoes, but virtual machines are too slow to use them as daily development environment, unless you have a supercomputer. For sure virtual machines on notebooks are extremely slow unless you have ssd diskssmnbsshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13541565689454261196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369362.post-55280008512473123412009-03-03T15:40:00.000-05:002009-03-03T15:40:00.000-05:00Good info, Jeff. Thanks for sharing!<BR/><BR/>Since I'm a virtual newbie, gotta ask - what's the difference between Virtual PC and Virtual Server? Can I used a VHD for Virtual Server on Virtual PC? I've got a new laptop and want to "go virtual". ;)mcollierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01367537183648962089noreply@blogger.com
