Frequent speaker and blogger at seventh generation of VMware's venerable desktop virtualisation platform, VMware Workstation, includes support for Windows 7 hosts and guests as one of its key features. He works as a software engineer for Microsoft. For almost two decades he contributes to open-source, i.e. He focuses on data and business layers, language constructs, parallelism, databases and performance. I hope I’ll not find some critical problem that will make me hate the VMWare. But what’s faster is saving and restoring the state of the machine and I’m using this a lot. I was more or less happy with Virtual PC and I don’t have some exact numbers to provide. So the overall result is good, I think.įrom the performance perspective, I can’t judge the performance of VM itself.
The Linux boxes, based mainly on some Live CDs, ran without problems. So the W7 system will be probably reinstalled, which isn’t so bad, because I was planning to install the RTM, just little depressing. System suggested me some repair utility during next boot, but it didn’t help. The Windows 7 (this instance was RC) it ended in BSOD. I was just forced to do the activation again, but no problem. I’m running some XP boxes, where the migration was OK. All my VMs in Virtual PC contained software and setups that I didn’t want to reinstall from scratch. It’s much more mature (again my feeling), has really advanced features for geeks as me (like the snapshots – I created my own way with Virtual PC, but in VMWare Workstation it’s much easier) and the Unity – I like it (I know Windows Virtual PC has this too, but VMWare Workstation seems to support more systems). So I tested the VMWare Workstation 7, couple of days ago. When testing the new Windows Virtual PC I felt like it’s focused more on standard users and mainly to run some XP applications in Windows 7, not as a full size virtualization tool for advanced users (but I might be wrong, it’s just a feeling). The version 2007 SP1 is/was kind of old, missing some new features and improvements. But I was getting more and more upset with Virtual PC. In fact my entire development environment is in VMs. I’ve been using Virtual PC (2007) for a quite while and very heavily. Tabs ↹ over ␣ ␣ ␣ spaces by Jiří Činčura Virtual PC → VMWare Workstation
