[Tutorial] Collection of Virtual Machines - pr3fix - Jun 17, 2010
Collection of Virtual Machines
What does Virtual Machine means?
Virtual machine, an efficient, isolated duplicate of a real machine. Current use includes virtual machines which have no direct correspondence to any real hardware.
Why should I use Virtual Machines
Well this is pretty simple. Instead of running something suspicious on your system (Virus, Worm or Trojan), you can run it on Virtual Machine and avoid getting infected.
Virtual PC

Nice, simple and straight to the point.
I know that there are quite a few people In which Virtual Machines are unbeknown to them, hence this tut will come In very handy and Informative.
Good contribution mate :)

It's something like that. But quite useful software if you ask me and will come handy in 99% of cases.
So yea, that is why it's on my list. ๐

You've made me torrent Vmware because it's so used it's the norm. Virtual Box is good but it's not so common, so I'm getting VMWare now. lol.

I use Virtual Box, but VMware is one of the best VM's out there, in my opinion.

A Virtual Machine Is just that, they're all a much of a muchness.
Yes there are some that have options/features that others don't and vice versa, so It all comes down to familiarity and overall usability In terms of what your expectations are.
