I very rarely use VMWare for Windows, mainly for testing on different Linux distros. It runs virtually as fast as native hardware, apart from a slight reduction in disk speed from the virtual disks. VMWare 5 is very nice, and runs much better on amd64 than the 4.x series. > As for comments on VMWare, it isn't free software and you need a > licence key. Some purists don't like the fact that it isn't free. That's hardly an issue if he's going to run Windows with it :-O -- Neil Bothwick A friend of mine sent me a postcard with a satellite photo of the entire planet on it, and on the back he wrote, "Wish you were here."
