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.

VMware vs. Bochs
by J^ on Mon 23rd Jun 2003 04:52 UTC

Comparing VMWare to Bochs is flawed.
Its like comparing apples and oranges because VMWare is a virtual machine, while Bochs is an emulator.

Bochs can run on any architecture you can compile it on, where as VMWare REQUIRES an x86/ATX setup.
