It works really well for the most part. You have to be able to set up a proper environment within the VM environment but that holds true whether you are within VM or outside of VM.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15135727486569145969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384103.post-64162296812239184412009-05-19T20:32:21.377-04:002009-05-19T20:32:21.377-04:00Right...

With my home maching a mac I could either partition my hdd and use boot camp to dual boot windows and osx. Running Virtual box I just create a folder for it to use and install windows 7 to it.<br /><br />I don't have clean install disk and license for windows xp as my dell came with a restore disk... maybe it could work but I don't know where it is. Windows 7 is free for a year so I thought I'd download it and give it a try.<br /><br />So the reason for me to run windows 7 at home is to experiment with ms sql server for a database class I'm taking. By running vm ware I can crap all over the various database / server configuration stuff and can quickly start from the beginning. Also it's a nerdy thing to do.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355633895765911782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384103.post-72399979077189103702009-05-19T16:43:00.000-04:002009-05-19T16:43:00.000-04:00Confused - you move from VM's to Windows 7...are y...Confused - you move from VM's to Windows 7...are you saying that you're running Windows 7 on a VM? for pleasure or business?<br />We use VMware for development environments. Can't remember why, but apparently there's a reason directly related to arcview.Andy the Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870197445835246850noreply@blogger.com
