Добро средство за работа с


Recommended Posts

VMWare е наистина страхотен инструмент - напълно функционална виртуална машина, т.е. 100%-тов линукс под виндовс или обратното.

Ако ти трябват само някои основни инструменти (особено такива, които са само конзолни) - има много добър вариант (напълно безплатен при това), наречен Cygwin ;)

Virtual PC enables you to run operating systems of your choice inside virtual windows on your desktop, essentially allowing each OS to work in a sandbox. In theory, you can have Windows NT and Windows 98 running at the same time on Windows XP, but in practice you need a supercomputer to be able to accomplish this. It's not that the idea of computer virtualisation is a bad one, merely that Virtual PC isn't very good at it. Any task that needs to hit the hard disk will invariably grind to a halt.

  VMWare runs a great deal faster than Virtual PC across the board, and it runs on Linux to boot - something we doubt Virtual PC is ever likely to do whilst in the hands of Microsoft. That said, Virtual PC does have a few advantages over VMWare that make it a firm competitor. Virtual hard disks, for example, grow to fit their requirements within VPC2004, and you can also configure each virtual machine to take up a set slice of your overall CPU time and have it automatically vary as you switch between them. One particularly important difference between this and VMWare is that Virtual PC doesn't insist on having the clumsiest and most awkward network configuration tools. VMWare seems to rebel against all notions of user-friendliness on this point.

Despite these features, however, VPC doesn't stand up well against VMWare, particularly when it comes to use for developers - and let's face it, that is probably the software's largest user base. VMWare enables you to debug across virtual machines, take selection snapshots of system states, and restore whichever you choose freely. Perhaps most importantly, it doesn't try to hide the fact that Linux exists.

Having said that, MS usually releases new acquisitions like this with very few changes beyond the rebranding. That's pretty much what they've done here. We can only hope that new features will be coming in the next release. In the meantime, the only thing going for VPC 2004 is that MS has cut the price to well below that of the current market leader. Perhaps this is in the hope that VMWare will become the next Netscape, and fall victim to the power of Microsoft.

Това намерих за сравнение между виртуал пц и вмуеър. Аз лично си залагам на вмуеър, защото съм го виждал как работи, не е перфектно, но върши добра работа. Погледни също и това. И все пак имай предвид че Virtual PC е продукт на микромеките ... И преди 5 минути за пръв път го чух :)

VirtualPC преди да го купят Microsoft беше Connectix VirtualPC и си беше много прилична програма, аз я предпочитам пред VMWare

 

но след като го купиха M$, чух че го орезилили, орязали му съвместимостта с Линукс или нещо такова... не съм я ползвал тази нова версия (v.1.0 на M$), карам си със v.5.2 на Connectix

Аз също ползвам VMWare и го предпочитам пред VPC като фунционалност и удобство на работа ми допада повече. [друг е и факта че съм Анти-M$ настроен :) ]
