Similar to mejobloggs, vmware player was more difficult to use, but then it wasn't designed for installing O/S into, it was created for running the images created with VMware server, (although you can actually install O/Ss in VMWare player), i think VMWare server is however as userfriendly as virtual PC, although i have yet to actually try it myself

If you want:
Performance, then get VMWare Server
Ease of use, then get MS Virtual PC

But maybe it's just cause I havn't fiddled with both of them enough ;)

471097 2006-07-22 23:18:00 What are peoples opinions on Qemu vs VMWare vs MS Virtual PC vs Whatever else?

Virtual Pc seems quite good from the few hours of emperimental stuff (it crashed knoppix though)
I HATE QUEMU IT IS STUPID AND HARD TO USE
and i have not tried vmware

does anyone know of a good free os that i can use to connect to the broadband with but is not linux (in vpc that is)
