From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Thursday, 7 April 2011 3:03 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: [OT] Virtual machine alternatives Folks, I'm just building a new machine for my wife. She needs Win7 as the boot OS and XP virtualised. I was wondering what choices I have for virtualising and avoiding problems with mouse jitter and video performance in the virtual OS. I ask because early last year I had to drop VMWare Server because of mouse, sound and video performance problems with XP. I moved to WMWare Player and the sound and video problems seem to be solved. Microsoft VM is also a contender I suppose, but I haven't used it for a couple of years. What's the latest recommendation for a home user machine with Win7 and virtual XP? Greg
