Pre-Register For VMWare On OSX

cant wait till it comes out... i know someone that works there (VMWare) and might get me a copy when it is released

 

Why doesn't that link point to a page on vmware.com? Seems fishy (or phishy).

EDIT: guess it's ok. I went to www.vmware.com and followed their link, it ends up on the same page.

 

Yep, signed up not too long ago. Can't wait for the release

 

What is vmware?

 

It's a program that allows you to install an operating system in a virtual computer, running in another operating system.

Currently VMWare exists for Windows and Linux. Other programs like it are Virtual PC and Parallels.

More information about VMWare on www.vmware.com.

 

a software like virtual pc, allow you to run other OS (virtually) on the top of your native OS.

 

Doesn't Parallels Desktop already do that?

 

Yeah i really don't know the difference. I only hope it's cheaper than Parallels.

 

Having competition means that one of them will surely lower the price (my guess... Parallels).

So it should be good for us! Having VMWare available is a huge thing as well. My company would like to have dev servers setup in VMWare virtual machines so we can just give them out to the developers and everything just works.. instead of having to configure a server stack on everyone's machines which is VERY time consuming.

 

It would be nice of competition brought out improved features, such as better video support.

In the case of VMWare, it will bring virtual SMP and 64-bit OS support, even on machines that do not support it.
