Hi

I was reading Windows IT Pro, April 2008 . On page 67, there is a small
article about Virtualization Products.

The following are the ones which are listed:

VMware Player
Xen
VirtualBox
QEMU
Oracle VM
Virtual Iron Single Server Edition
Microsoft Virtual PC 2007
Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2
VMware Server
Microsoft Hyper-V Server

I have had experience working on VMWare workstation and VPC2007.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried the others?
How does VPC 2007 compare to the others?

A cut-down version of VMWare Workstation - useful since it's free, but it
doesn't allow new virtual machines to be created...

Tried it a couple of times but gave up because it was pretty awful - haven't
had any need to look at it since...

I don't really have much need for this...

Nor this - useful though as it's free...

Just starting to get to grips with this...

I use all this for all virtual machines running non-Microsoft OS,
specifically Ubuntu... It's a bit of a fight getting Ubuntu installed on a
VPC VM, but on a VMWare VM it's a breeze... Good 64-bit guest and USB
support.

I used to use this a fair bit on my old PowerPC Mac Mini but, since I
upgraded to the latest Intel Mac Mini, I no longer have any use for it...
