The other thing to consider (I had a quick look at VirtualBox the other day) is that the VMWare vms are portable across OSs, while VirtualBox's aren't
So, if you are using vmware, your dev vm on vista will run on vmware player on Linux, but this doesn't apply for VirtualBox. However, they have some sound reasons for this, including making the vm files smaller. On Fri, 29 May 2009 09:36:15 +0800, Jim <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yup, you are correct.
