VirtualPC 2004 Versus VMWare 4.5?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the killer-attack-robots dept.

BackNBlack writes "Ars Technica has an interesting comparison shootout between Microsoft's VirtualPC 2004 and VMWare Workstation 4.5. Has VirtualPC improved since Microsoft bought it from Connectix? It looks as though VMWare is really the choice of those who can afford it. I'm also a little surprised that Microsoft is not as compatible as it could be, given the competition."

    In "The Village", the creatures are not real. They are costumes worn by the "elders" to scare people from leaving the villiage and realizing that the year is sometime in the 1990's and their is technology. In the end, "Ivy" kills her brother who is wearing a creature costume.

    How tragic.

    I used to be pretty happy with VMware, but then I started getting spam directed to the email address I use with them. The only conclusion I can come to is that they sold it to spammers.

    No I was getting it too... hmmm.....


    I get it as soon as I log in. I know this is going to be modded -1 offtopic (because I see other people posting about it, and they are all -1 now, and I suppose it technically IS OT), but I'm pissed at the slashdot folks who should really post some sort of a notice that they are having problems. Especially frustrating given that I actually have a paid subscription.

    What the hell are you talking about??? What's wrong with the BUY link on this page?

    Did you read a single word that I wrote? I wanted to know if I qualified for an educational discount and their sales department has completely ignored my inquiries. That is what's wrong with the buy link on that page - it's a frontend to a company that can't be bothered replying to sales questions.

    If they won't answer a question about pricing, do you honestly think they'll care about tech support? Frankly, at this point I've completely written them off.
