VMWare baby!

I have a number of VMs which I use for Java, CF, etc. when I need Windows based services like SQL Server. Any Windows based programs which I can't find a Mac equivalent of get run under VMWare. Of course, you could boot into XP with Bootcamp on a separate partition, but that's no good for me since I use it so infrequently.

Just curious if you are able to run SQL and/or Oracle on a Mac?

I had the very same “before the year end” dilemma but had after 22 years with Microsoft have decided to GO MAC—cause it just works. Period.



Best of luck, and I do agree with Dean’s comment “don’t downgrade to Vista”—unless you’re into horror stories.

Hope everyone had a very merry xmas and wishes for a happy new year.



I am going to buy a new notebook before Dec. 31 or at least try to get the order in before year end in order to spend the money before the 2007 tax year ends (for a write off). I was debating with myself as to what OS to get (XP or Vista). I currently use XP Pro. These are my questions if anyone has any feedback or wants to discuss:



1. Should I stay with XP Pro instead of moving to Vista?

2. Are there issues with using Adobe products like CF, DW, or other tools with Vista.

3. If I move to Vista is there a particular version I need to do CF work (home, pro, etc.)

4. If I stay with XP, do I really need the Pro version to do CF work?



Any thoughts are appreciated.



Dusty
