“I’m mainly a unix developer. I find it much easier to develop
on unix systems, and most of my career has been spend developing
unix apps. My last few companies however seem to think providing NT
workstations is an improvement. Worse still the corporate
applications run under NT. So NT must be dealt with.”
“Enter VMWare. It allows me to run NT applications, test the
portability of my unix related code, and still run unix (linux)
under it all. Ah, back in the comfy open pastures of the command
line.”
“… if you need access to NT apps from your linux box, or if
you have any other intel based OS’s you’d like to run on your linux
box, this is most definitely the way to go.”
