hi Maho-san:
What are the reasons behind working with VMware -besides trying to do
everything on one single physical system? Is it not counterproductive,
at least in some cases, which we are witnessing right now (see below),
given the additional complexity and (let me formulate it in simple
terms) significantlky higher chance of screwing around and screwing up?
Example of what I mean: the old (2 years) notebook I bought for 80 €
will just do fine for windows sanity etc checks - it did so far -.
Simple answer: not everyone owns a nootbook for every platform she would
like to test. If you own such a system that's fine - use it for testing.
If not, you may use a vm image. This is just freedom of joice.
Just to give an example (how I do my tests):
- automated windows XP tests run on my laptop
- automated tests for Suse Linux run on my linux box
- I do the manual tests for Win XP on my main desktop (as well as for
linux - via remote access to my linux box)
- automated tests for Win98SE run on a VM ware session (as I own only
three computers ;-) )
- in case I have the time, I can boot a VM ware session for Solaris,
FreeBSD or ReactOS (unfortunately I never had the time to do extensive
tests on that platforms)
Nobody forces you to use vmware .. it is just an option.
