OSNews, Generic OSes If you have a mixed network like I do sometimes you have to compromise. At my job we run Windows, Linux and a sole Mac (Graphics dept.) and lets face it, when you do consulting work and if you design and develop custom applications you have to be able to develop for your clients platform and as much as I hate it, it's a Windows world. Before I used to have 2 workstations, one Windows and one Linux, or I had to dual boot. In the past, virtual machines have been lacking. Either they were too slow or lacking a certain pizazz to get the job done. Enter VMWare Workstation 4.

The Best Thing
by William Ray Barker on Mon 23rd Jun 2003 03:39 UTC

The best thing about VMware for me is the ability to try out every single new OS that comes out with out the need to format my har drive every to seconds. Mostly when I start to think what Linux version I would like to run on my main computer, I can just go and try out 10 different Linux's, and a few other OS's to see what I like best.
