You wouldn't believe it first the screen then keyboard then motherboard then the battery. So I still tried using VMWare after that :P and ended up deleting it within the 2 hour mark. I don't blame VMWare it is my computer it can't really take that much weight on it and plus it overheats a lot which I hate cause I have to turn it off and use the crappy IBM computer :/ But, I will give VMWare another chance when I buy a new computer.

I am currently running Parallels because I have had network issues with VMWare Server. The virtual machine is on an old Dell PC running Ubuntu Linux on top of Windows XP Pro. I use Linux to run a local DHCP, DNS, and Samba server. Plus it is also a great way to learn the basics of Unix with out the fear of total messing something up which I have done many times. If I do mess something up I can just restore a backed up version. I would recommend that everyone give it a try. Sudo ya later! bGeorge For me virtual machines have been a godsend.

VMware really makes my work-flow more efficient without the need to switch computers, or worse, reboot into windows when i need to use photoshop. This is especially important in my daily work as a developer because I cant stand using GIMP :) I use VMware to run Photoshop and other Adobe CS3 products flawlessly on my linux-based desktop.

I prefer Fusion over all and It is pretty darn fast even for a virtual machine. I couldn’t possibly start giving comments, I used a few VMWare products like VMWare Workstation , Server, and Fusion.
