Hi Dan, If you have Workstation then you don't need Player.
If you need any tips let me know. The first time you build a Virtual Machine is an interesting experience. If building WinXP I recommend using "Bridged" networking, allocate about 4.0G for your harddrive, and a minimum of 256mb of RAM. The computer you install VMWare on is known as the "host", and the Virtual Machines you build are the "guests". The RAM allocation is a slippery slope, because your guest has to share the available RAM of the host - the more you give guest, the less your host has to use. Have fun. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Stein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 3:27 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Virtual Machine [OFF} > > Not trying to save money or get it for free the $189 seems reasonable > especially if I can use it to setup on a few workstations and > use player to > run them. > > I will use the trial for a few weeks and then decide. > > > on 5/29/06 17:00, Scott Cadillac at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Hi Dan, > > > > I've never checked out Parallels, but VMWare is what I recommend. > > > > VMWare is a more mature product than Virtual PC, and much > more straightforward > > to use then Virtual PC.
