Hey folks, I you're not aware of my Virtual machine saga, I was a BIG proponent of VMware until just a few months ago, when I discovered that virtual PC has slightly better performance than VMware 4. I upgraded to VMware 5 yesterday and is totally ROCKS. The memory footprint for each VM is drastically reduced, and I can run 8-10 VMs at the same time on a machine with only 1 GB of memory and a 2GHz P4. It also has a built-in .avi recorder, so that you can record all your actions in the VM. They even have a free tool that allows you to convert your Virtual PC VMs into VMware 5 VMs. Works great. If you're using VMware you definitely need to upgrade. If you're using Virtual PC, give VMware 5 a try. Finally, look forward to downloadable avi's of the procedures discussed in all future articles I do over at www.isaserver.org HTH, Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder <http://www.isaserver.org/shinder> Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 <http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7> MVP -- ISA Firewalls
