Scubar Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 The New Beta VMware is awful , havent tried vpc2007 but 2004 with sp1 isnt all that bad, i use that because vmware installs all the garbage extras that i only end up disabling anyway.

jaclaz Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Only apparently OT, do try the newish Virtualbox, FREE/OPENSOURCE, it appears to be REAL fast:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=90774www.virtualbox.orgjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkviper Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 jaclaz, it's perfect!I use only VirtualBox.Used VmWare before, a few motnhs ago. VitualBox is the best if you only need to see that you OS will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimzky Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The VMWare 6 beta is sluggish due to it having debugging code. Definitely stick with 5.5.3.i made an vmware lite addon where debug and many other things removed, now it runs faster then ever if u want, nliteos.com im still using ur vmlite 5.5.2.. i nver knew uv updated it .. thnx again !!

RyanVM Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) OMGZ0RS, VIRTUAL PC IS TEH SLOW!!!!!111 VPC2007 works fine, been using it since the first beta. And unlike VMWare, it doesn't annoyingly take control of the mouse just because I happened to type something in the VM.

r3incarnat0r Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I agree with hulkviper. VirtualBox is good enough to test an nLited os. The only feature I miss is dragging & dropping files, but it's no big deal anyway, trasferring just requires little more clicks. Btw host/guest copy/paste ability should be available in the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bledd Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 wow VirtualBox is a LOT faster than VPC, it seems to work faster than my normally does during install (because of the hard drive being a lot faster than a dvd)anyone got any windows install test times between the 3 programs?

Don't delete any drivers and VPC works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott14 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 MS Virtual PC 2007 has been working OK for me. (but I haven't yet figured out how to drag files between the host and the vpc)Yes, it's slow, but speed seems to depend on the amount of RAM you allocate to it. If you let it take the default memory size then VPC2007 runs slower, and if you manually set the memory size bigger it runs faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
