ActiveWin.com: Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Enterprise Edition - Review | |
|
||
| Time: 01:13 EST/06:13 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
Chris has posted his review of Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. Here is an excerpt: An operating system is the layer of software that communicates directly with the hardware components on a physical machine and provides the platform for applications to run on top of it. For the most part, this relationship was strictly a one-to-one relationship. In other words, the operating system would take ownership of the drivers needed to communicate with the hardware components and would not allow other software to communicate directly with it. Thus, only one operating system could run on a physical machine at a time. With virtual machine technology though, all that has changed. Now you can run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a host machine using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. |

I have tested Virual PC 2004 and Virtual server 2005 and I can honestly say that Microsoft is getting there (well not really actually, because they bought the company)
....but VMware is still a MORE superior and mature product. Sorry Microsoft...keep eating your spinach .. |

This is a great product. I have been testing it since the first branded version, (Pre-Beta), and love it. I was unable to use VMWARE to emulate our AD/Ex 5.5 environment, but the beta from MS worked fine, (there was issues with RPC communications). The support for more drivers is great. I have rolled it out, and plan to mirror our production environment to the VS environment.
I use it at home also on in my lab, and it does it everything that i need. Good job MS, on this product. This post was edited by johnnyq on Monday, April 11, 2005 at 09:19. |

I used to use VMWare workstation at home to run my little test world(domain controller, web server, etc.). I switched over to Virtual Server recently, mainly because VMWare workstation doesn't have very nice remote management of the machines.
It works, pretty well. I notice a bit of sluggishness compared to VMWare. But I have like 5 virtuals running on one box(2.4Ghz P4 with 2 Gigs of RAM) and don't have any signifigant issues. |

Soda:
You cannot compare VmWare Workstation to Virtual server.... Compare VMWare GSX to Virtual server or Virtual PC with VMWare Workstation |
