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.
>Is it really true that speed(VMWare_4)>speed(Win4lin)?
This is what Robert claims. For me, it is the opposite. Win4Lin is much-much faster than VMWare on my dual Celerons 533.
