Marc Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 As I develop windows applications I have decided to go back to windows from running linux. However this leaves me in a bit of a muddle as I do like linux for certain things, not least for when I am developing for this site. Therefore Im playing with virtual machines (vmware at the moment) in order to get a linux installation without the need for reboot. I have 16gb of memory to play with so I have the resources to do this now with ease. Anyone else played with Virtual Machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Not at home, but at work. We run VMware with Windows 7 as the main boot up system and Windows XP on the virtual machine. We run TCM, which is our Enterprise MRP application on the virtual machine, and everything else on Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Virtual box is my preference for running linux on windows (or vice versa) In my opinion the cleanest for desktop use and some nice integration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've used VMware, then it broke and swapped to Virtual Box which is actually quite good. My dad uses it to run windows inside his Linux, I use it on a headless server to run a few separate servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've used Parallels...so I can run Windows XP in Mac. It isn't too much trouble to reboot into my XP, though, so I rarely use it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterchillz Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 We're using NoMachine VMs with Ubuntu at work, can't complain about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 We use VMware vSphere, plus i use VM WorkStation on my Laptop and VM Fusion on my MacBook. VirtualBox is good, but it's open source, so you really get what you pay for . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
