I beg to differ on this - since its NOT truly VIABLE to run ALL Windows SW under a VM. Although, I haven't really done VM stuff myself. The app I speak of is my primary 3D CG app - 3DS Max. This app is truly tied to HW - including GPU - and is also very dependent on the 3D API - like OpenGL or Direct3D. To run this under a VM is not Viable in this case. At least I don't think so. I have heard people in the past that wanted to run 3DS Max so badly - and yet only owned a Mac - and tried to run it on one of those emulators - that allowed you to run PC SW on a Mac (and this was a while ago). But, to do that - it would totally kill the efficiency of the 3D SW - and make it fairly unusable...
Anyway - that's my 2 centavos... -K- P.S. I also think Stephen made a good point on what "Cloud" computing really is... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Leland Jackson Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 11:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] Munich and Schwäbisch Hall dump winders On 04/03/2012 04:31 PM, Michael Madigan wrote: > That's why I think using a Windows O/S while also using open source programs > is the absolute best way to go. or run Linux as your primary OS and have it host a vm app like Virtualbox, that can run windows and other OS vm(s). This would cover all your bases, but allow you to run your servers, (eg PostgreSQL, MySql, Apache, Sendmail, Postfix, Mailman, VSftpd, NFS, etc.), in the environment in which they were originally developed, and still run best. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a140b7ce...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
