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.

I just tried Bochs 2.0.2 last night and the performance is incredible considering that it emulates an entire x86 PC...well maybe not entire ;)

it's adequate for running Win98 and DOS...i wouldn't use anything more recent with it because that would be sloooooooow

If you need to run an OS inside of another one, and you're broke (like I am) Bochs is the way to go!!!

good work guys!
