Hi Dan, I've never checked out Parallels, but VMWare is what I recommend.
VMWare is a more mature product than Virtual PC, and much more straightforward to use then Virtual PC. I also have some licenses of Virtual PC with my MS subscription, but prefer VMWare. VMWare Workstation costs more, but they also have a FREE run only version for existing Virtual Machines called VMWare Player. But of course you need Workstation to create a VM setup for a licensed version of Windows, but you might be able to create one with the Trial version of Workstation, then just run it in Player. There are lots of ready-made VM setups for all flavors of Linux that can run in Player as well (all free), just because they don't have the same licensing controls of a Windows Operation System. Good luck. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 2:47 PM > To: witango-talk@witango.com > Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Virtual Machine [OFF} > > go to parallels.com > > it is 10 bucks off during beta, but beta is solid > > Ben > > On May 29, 2006, at 1:30 PM, Dan Stein wrote: > > So it seems I should go ahead and get some VM software for at least > one of > my workstations.
