1. As you can imagine, the idea to test them back to back came very
quickly, and I just had to find out a fair and easy way to do so. I
decided I would use Virtual Box 3.1 for the job. I wanted to find a
way to provide the exact same resources to both and a virtual
machine, even with its flaws, would at least be fair (which is
another way to say that I can’t afford two identical machines just
for testing).”
