QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Dec 15 2008, 02:34 PM) Because Virtual PC is free but VMWare Workstation is paidware. Err..VMWare Server is FREEWARE. Only VMWARE Workstation and other editions needs to pay.  I've used both VMWARE and VPC. For hosting Windows desktop O/S (like XP and VISTA), i think it's better to use VPC...seems like faster and can drag/drop files between host/guest...VMWARE can't do this.

QUOTE(FarCry3r @ Dec 17 2008, 04:00 PM) Oh, I didn't realize VMWare Server have same functionality as Workstation. If I'm not mistaken, VMWare Workstation have VMWare Tools that enable integration between host and guest PC... and oh, VPC's advantage are the small installer size and use fewer resources. VMWare features are too advanced for me... that's why I skip... VMware is meant for running actual production servers. Like VMWARE ESX, sits at the base layer, with no O/S. It can do very advance stuff like load balancing, storage, fail over etc etc.VPC is meant for play play and syok sendiri...  |
