Guest JaseP Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 In a nutshell, they are buying (well,... bought) another technology so that they can claim to be innovators... Be rest assured that their acquired technology will not run ON Linux, it will run Linux from a Windoze "virtual machine" though. No big whoop.

Gowator Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Most importantly... The stability, speed, security etc. of anything like this is only as good as the base OS. If you run linux on a FAT or NTFS filesystem it will be slow, insecure and lmited by the NTFS/Fat limitations. As JaseP points out, this is a pretence at being innovators. Once also wonders if they intend to make it so unusable it will give a bad impression of linux to people who were thinking of trying it.

zero0w Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Please notice that Virtual PC is no VMware. Because Virtual PC can only be started from Windows - it will not hurt Windows sales a bit at all as long as you need Windows to run Virtual PC. That's the magic. On the other hand, you can start VMware within Linux to run other OSes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
