What about (free) support options? well, since VMWare Server is freeware you can make you own tests with it against virtualbox...i don't use vmware so i cannot tell much...i'm also not sure about support options just a correction: virtualbox (and others) does not 'emulate' FreeDOS...they emulate (or at least try to) a full standard x86 machine...the strategy to achieve performance is to let x86 native code run as x86 native code and not to interpret it with the vm....vmware implementation does this as well as virtualbox's....in the VM they create, one can install FreeDOS, or any Linux flavor, or Windows, or BSDs, or anything else wich seems to be an operating system > If someone is familiar with it, please share his experience - opinion, with > us. > > THANKS!!! > Giorgos. :-) > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express > Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take > control of your XML.
