JedMeister Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'm guessing from the fact you're posting in the "Other Operating Systems" that it is not a Win OS you are planning on running? Whilst MS Virtual PC 2007 should work ok, I think it would be safe to assume that its optimised for Win OSs.Of the remaining 2 you mentioned, VirtualBox would be my preference for desktop testing/development. Having said that VMware server is available free and works quite well if you wish to have a number of VMs running. It really comes into its own if you wish test your VMs on an alternate PC (to the one your on) as it has a web interface rather than a normal window. Because of this, VMware Server lends itself nicely to remote admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Your question was possibly close to the order, except I prefer Virtualbox as it runs on practically any OS without too much trouble. VMWare seemed nice last I used it but can be at a cost. Virtual PC is a spot the version of Windows that It may work on i.e. artificial limitations added. Virtualbox is least restrictive ATM so has my recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
