“By allowing users to run Linux and Windows from a single
workstation at the same time, VMware cuts hardware costs and
streamlines development processes.”
“Disregarding issues of monopolistic practices, open-source
debates, and vendor loyalty, most techies agree that the perfect
computing model would include a single, standardized operating
system that meets everybody’s productivity and programming
needs….”
“VMware’s recently released VMware 2.0 is an attractive example
of such a solution. Running on Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Linux,
VMware 2.0 provides multiple virtual computers on a single host,
allowing you to mix and match applications and operating systems to
your heart’s delight without constantly rebooting. For this
colossal convenience and for its top-notch usability, VMware 2.0
earned a score of Very Good in our testing.”
