I've been running VMware on my laptop for a few months now.
I really like it. I use it to run Red Hat linux on my laptop because I
couldn't get X Window to work (no drivers for my video card)
It is slow though and you need a pretty powerful machine to run it. I have a
PII 128Mb of Ram and it runs just ok.
If you just want to do some testing on different OSs (it supports MS-DOS 6,
Windows 3.1/95/98/NT/2000 professional/2000server, Linux, or just want to be
able to open files from different sources, it works just fine.
However, if you are want to make it your main system, it is not good enough.
One thing that is really cool is that I can setup let's say Linux or Win2000
anyway I like it and the whole operating system with any applications I
install live in my host system as one single file. I can then burn a CD with
that file and give it to my friends and as long as they have VMware
installed on their machines, they can just open the file and have the same
setup I have on my machine without installing it.
I think it is a cool product to try and it is fairly cheap too.
