![]() They've shown themselves to be at best extremely untrustworthy, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will instantly pull the same crap with VirtualBox as they have with both Java and Open Solaris should VirtualBox ever seem to reach true parity with competing VMware products. ![]() I still tend to use VirtualBox for my Linux stuff, but I've begin to wean myself off of it as I have serious doubts about Oracle in general. (its basicly a Linux with the VMware virtualization technology) You can simply move running OSs to the VMware ESX, or import them from. It installs as the OS on the host computer with only 32 MB ram overhead. Try out their ESX solution, its free and incredibly powerful. Each virtual machine runs its own operating system and functions separately from the other VMs, even when they are all running on the same host. Virtualization technology allows a single computer to run more than one OS at the same time. One or more virtual guest machines run on a physical host machine. ![]() After that, use a bootable USB drive to install the new operating system. I use virtualization myself and I can very much recommend VMware server. A Virtual Machine (VM) is a compute resource that uses software instead of a physical computer to run programs and deploy apps. As two operating system can’t work in a single partition, you need to create a partition first. Please test your most frequent used scenarios and see how it works. VirtualBox also advertises graphics acceleration in non-Windows guests (I had it working in Ubuntu 10.04, though I've since had no luck at all getting it working in Ubuntu 10.10 after an upgrade.), while VMware only accelerates graphics within Windows guests. Dual booting is basically a process of installing another operating system on a same hard drive or an external hard drive connected to the same PC. With this tech preview, VMware Workstation is supposed to work exactly the same way as Workstation works on the non-Hyper-V/VBS enabled host. Virtualbox (at least the open source version) lacks USB support, but the Oracle closed source version resolves this with useable virtual USB support. Overall, I think the first thing you will find is that VMware's user interface is more polished (VirtualBox lacks drag-n-drop file sharing between host and guest - it uses a clumsier shared folder method). I run them both on a 4GB Q9550-based system with no problems. ![]() ![]() Click to expand.Nothing (save lack of hard disk space) prevents you from installing both VMware and VirtualBox at the same time to compare them. ![]()
