Recently, you often use virtual machine debugging procedures and install some software, so you have two virtual machines on VirtualPC and VMware on the machine. After you have used some personal feelings.
1. VPC does not support my most hoped features - support Softice, but fortunately WMware support. But it is said that TRW2K is supported in VPC, because it has not been used, so don't comment.
2.WMware Virtual Two virtual network cards, VPC actually adds a support protocol Virtual Machine Network Services to it in the network protocol. These two ways may differ greatly to those who do not do network development. And let me depressed, WMware In order to achieve these two virtual network cards, in my network connection, WMware creates two network connections, and a process in the process list seems to be run for it.
3. VPC is very simple
a. When it doesn't run, you don't have any service programs, VMware has a big stack of seven-eight-z53, which makes me very annoying. There is only one program when it is running.
b. Beared VPC, virtual machine has only one VHD file, and the new version has only added a VMC file. But VMware is different, and a virtual machine has more than a dozen files, which makes people feel too chaos.
4. In the reduction, VMware has a snapshot restore mechanism, and the VPC is inquiry if it is saved when it is closed. From this point of view, each has its own benefits
5. Support for the operating system, it is said that the new version of VPC does not support Linux, but my colleague can be installed. In addition, some people say that VMware does not support Solaris, which is also confirmed to be installed. As for Longhorn, I didn't tried it. I don't know which one can lead in the support of the 64-bit system.
6. VPC can set the share of the CPU resource, and the actual use effect, I also think that VPC is very fast.
7.WMware supports graphic, although there is no such function, but I always feel that this is a chicken rib function.
There should be some differences. Overall, WMware is more powerful, VPC is very simple, and there are many advantages in both parties. But if VPC supports Softice, I may only use it.
Here is some of the comments:

Virtual PC is a virtual machine software similar to VMware. The main difference between the two is as follows:
1, VMware does not simulate the graphics card, to use VMware-Tools to use high-resolution and true color, otherwise only VGA can be used. The Virtual PC simulates a relatively universal graphics card: S3 TRIO 32/64 (4m). From this point, the Virtual PC is common than VMware, but the display performance is not as good as VMware.
2. Because the Virtual PC simulates the graphics card, it is very versatile. The Connectix.com website claims that the current version of Virtual PC 5 supports all X86-based operating systems.
3, Virtual PC's network sharing is different from VMware. VMware is a network sharing through analog NIC, while the Virtual PC is shared by binding the Virtual PC Emulated Switch service on an existing NIC. For operating systems such as Win2000 / XP, if the network cable is not inserted or no NIC, you have to install Microsoft's LoopBack Soft Network Card to achieve network sharing. In the Global Setting of the Virtual PC, when there is a network card and insert the network cable, set the Virtual Switch into a reality network card; when there is no network card or network cable, set the Virtual Switch into the MS Loopback soft network card, you can implement network sharing. * // * Experience the alternative pleasure: virtual PC software cross-evaluation

Some comparisons for VMware and Virtual PC
I have recently studied VMware and Virtual PC to find out that they have a great difference in technology implementation.
Memory first says VMware, uses that similar to seizure resource-based implementation, you will be allocated to the virtual machine, once he is running, he will assign you to his memory, regardless of whether it is really actual use. And the VPC is just the opposite, he will be more actual use to dynamically increase. Comment: It seems like a VPC is better, but the actual running speed is absolutely VMware.
Hard disk VMware, its hard disk is not changed after you specify the size, but you can add a second hard disk. Similar to PCVPC, you can dynamically expand your hard drive. Comment: Actually using VMware's disk efficiency is much higher than VPC
Summary Since VMware is much higher than VPC on the analog PC, Microsoft selects VPC? ? ? It is important to note that the company is not only a PC simulator, including PPC simulators and PS simulators are their products.
PS: Can't run the PPC simulator on the VMware virtual machine! ! !
