Re: Topic 18509

All these virtualisation options... What to do? Which to choose?

I don't want to jump aboard the Microsoft wagon and go with VirtualPC.

I have used VMware in the past, but not extensively.

How about this Xen thing? And now this Sun/innotek thing? Any good? Any better than the rest?

Apparently Innotek was bought out by Sun. VirtualBox uses a lot of code from QEMU, it's very similar to and on par with VMware. Even though it's based off of QEMU, I've found it to run more than QEMU. QEMU has much more emulated hardware though.

I would try a virtualisation option that enabled hardware acceleration in a linux guest system under a windows host system, for a change. No, what those guys at the toronto university managed to do doesnt count.
