Even Microsoft uses VMWare. I thought of two reasons: - you can run simultaneous different versions of windows (that's why M$ bought those VMW licenses). - you can develop on a safe virtual machine and eliminate the hardware problems (ok, pretty far fetched, but it's nice to know you don't get those blue screens because of some hardware issues) - everything works on a sane platform. I don't have any professional programming experience, maybe there are some other reasons, those two are the only one I could see from an outsiders point of view. Once again excuse my engrish. -- I/O error while opening .signature file ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
