VMware Server is a great way to do things. I've been able to create Win 98, XP and Vista virtual machines, and (if I knew a little more about administering it and installing stuff) I could do Solaris and BSD as well. Once the VM is running, the CPU usage is relatively light, although I have yet to try running more than one VM at a time. Speed does not really seem to be a problem, overheads seem quite low and of course VMware Server is free (as in beer). From your earlier post, setting up a virtual appliance your way (with QEMU) is a pain. Doing the same with VMware is a piece of cake. Anyone can do it. I would really recommend using VMware Server for QA in preference to other methods. > > In my opinion, using freely available software is mandatory.
