Should have said virtual pc works fine for server2008 and arguably is a
better choice for all win. I prefer VMWare only because most of my play
environments run on Linux

Hello list,
To my great dismay I just found out that VMWare Server 2.0 I have used
in the past for desktop virtualisation of Windows stopped working.
Actually, it's not the virtualisation layer, but more the console which
fails to work with modern Firefox and my IE 8. The plugin seems a bit
out of date. BTW I use Xen for all para-virtualised guests and won't
touch this as it's _brilliant_. Oh, and I don't want to spend money :)
So I need another solution for this-I heard VMWare player is nice and
you can also create your own VMs with it now. Virtualbox could be an
alternative, and so could be Microsoft's virtual PC. I don't know any of
these, so if anyone could share experience about stability and
performance. I plan to virtualise Windows 2008 R2, but don't need a lot
of performance, this would be a lab environment.
Thanks in advance,
Martin
