vmware is the best. I have installed ubuntu, window 7 32 bit and window server 2003 on window 7 64 bit operating system. It works damned good. Virtualbox gives me a lot of headache.

[immiengineer]

long live vmware

[kevingp12]

@TyRATnt how do you do this, what is it? i want to do it too ;)

[TyRATnt]

@kevingp12 Made my own program this time I used to go on the forums using a website that offered what I do for free give me your email and I'll show you some true Unicode Youtube only allows 500 characters email = unlimited :)

[LordBael]

USE CROSSOVER 10

[dividenot]

Is there a point he talks about speeding up virtual machine processing speed?

[DemonNaoto]

VMWare, in my opinion, is much more stable than VirtualBox! Trust me, I have used VirtualBox! Compared to VMWare, it does not have that many features in comparison. For example, VirtualBox does not have USB support, so when u plug in a usb drive, your virtual machine won't detect it! So, in my opinion, I prefer VMWare! :)

[maw88ify]

VirtualBox it's free...

[1musicRAWR]

lol inside a virtual machine theres is a virtual machine and in that is another virtual machine and in that another and another and anoother and in the next virtual machine there IS A CAT!!!!!

[sicNegro]

You guys to realize that this video was made two years ago. Parallels (v5) is pretty badass now.

[boxoflols]

HELPPP!!!! I have vista. can I use vmw or virtual box to run vista on vista??

wen it asks me for the os, can I use the cd I initially used wen I opened computer??

[cienciasmedicas]

Parallels it's a waaaaaayyyyyyy better than VMware, VMW is very slow and unstable with a LOT of bugs!

And by the way cmd + c / cmd + v not work after some time using VMW! Don't use this shit

[lukygrl13]

WHAT! vmware is so slow. i once had vmware workstation 7.00 and the vm was slow and kept freezeing on a 2gb 160gbhd  celeron cpu 2009. and icant update parallels 2.2 in windows help me? because theres to much to info on there website? but its way faster than vmware but virtual box is way more cool than virtual pc!

IF I SUBCRIBE CAN YOU ANSWER MY QUESTON.

Bless the nerds. D:

[amityaadav]

I love the way how your dog is just relaxing on your forearm...so cute!

[kikme778]

cool word

"savage"

ima use that

[nelizmastr]

im running Windows NT 4.0 and XP in a virtual machine, and windows 95 on my Vista/Ubuntu 9 machine

[avocadomilk]

dude, you need a better video cam.

[lighangel]

it's becuz he's recording the live streaming.

the video is not the actual recording directly from the camera.

[umairasim]

totally agree..

[lukygrl13]

@avocadomilk DONT be mean!

[SicAndTwistedGuy]

do i have to buy a xp/ vista disk for parallels, or is it free?

[Khalduknight]

That sounds stupid... of course you have to buy XP or Vista... If Vista costs over $100 and VMWare Fusion is $69.90, dont you think people would just by the VMWare Fusion.

[TheRealCreww]

answer to all problems

torrents

[Brotasmo]

Dude thats the truth

[addadhdnarc]

N008$

[iEatGarbage]

I don't care about the speed, I want coherence.

WMWare Fusion doesn't have coherence.

[Khalduknight]

Hey genius... VMware Fusion has it. Its called unity.

[johnisironman]

I think VMware is better. Who agrees with me?

[fixthejam]

wikipedia does know everything

[fixthejam]

you can easily use virtual box

I'm fairly certain usb can be activated in virtual box too

[Comeyd]

it can you just need to turn it on in the VM settings

[CHVNX]

I use Virtual Box.

[WBEditing]

YO. I have ubuntu running XP inside it, how do i mount an external hard drive?? please answer

[timmansixgun]

nice

[ChocolateMonkeyFish]

lol wicket/pixie (can't really differentiate) yawned at 0:17

[ChocolateMonkeyFish]

oops, i mean pixie

[martincs14]

virtual box also picks up usb

[KingLacho]

thanks for the tips Chris, this video has really helped me with my very, very little knowledge about virtual machines, I guess I'll just try it out... once again, Thanks!

[bluezangetsu2]

i cant find any of the vms mentioned they all seem to lead me justt adds about the vm's and dont have the vm its geting me anoyed i have a program that i realy need to test but just cant on my normal cmputer

[deanbrothersfilms]

im getting a new imac and want to use the kind of software so i can run windows vista or xp.

i will be using film editing software (sony Vegas pro)in windows and want to use most of the power of the mac when do this so i can render stuff fast. Is this possible and if so which one of these software would you recommend.

Thanks

[DavinTerrizzi]

If you're gonna do really hardware-intensive video editing, I highly recommend using Boot Camp and running Windows natively so that you can get the most out of your hardware./

[TheRealFallenDemon]

Under the license terms of Vista, only business and Ultimate can be run through a virtual machine. Plus why skip out on the Mac OSX tools? I have a friend that specifically bought a mac to use them

[BarricadeSlade]

Yes, but you CAN run every other version of Vista on a VM, really, who's gonna know, care, or tell? Microsoft is just a control freak.

[TheRealFallenDemon]

Yeah, it's more aimed at the business' who will skimp out and pay for the cheaper premium/basic (why you would buy basic only to run it on a VM, I don't know...)

[jacobkwitkoski]

could I install a virtual machine of OSX inside VMware fusion for the purpose of software testing?

[themacintoshguru]

Yes, although it can only be Mac OS X Server, so far, only available w/ Parallels.

[kaiomatico]

qemu is better^^

[Floker2004]

qemu is something entirely different

[ZimPirate]

no sound.

[cesar9020]

the vid?

[AdamBailey9]

Chris's videos sound dont work properly if you go from one of his vids to another. To fix it just change the volume.

[mrfinalfantasy]

anyway..IF I WERE TO UNINSTALL MY VMware..will it also ERASE my other O.S?..and isit possible (in my case..i use a Vista..and the virtual Pc is an XP..to uninstall the XP? cos if i m not wrong..there is no UNINSTALL button for an O.S)

[Demoras]

[part 1/2]

It doesn't work like that.

With VMWare, you basically make a separate virtual computer with a virtual hard disk file. Everything will be installed in the hard disk file, your real system will not be affected.

So, if you install XP on a virtual machine, your real operating system is not affected. XP sits within the virtual hard disk and VMWare mounts this hard disk, so you can use it as a virtual computer.

[Demoras]

[part 2/2]

Thus, Windows XP won't show up in the Software panel, because you didn't install XP on your computer in the first place, you installed in on the virtual machine.

If you want to get rid of your virtual Windows XP, you simply delete the virtual machine and the virtual hard disk file.

I hope that helps!

[mrfinalfantasy]

well..how about..

On a Vista Pc..can i VIRTUALY MECH with a MAC O.S?

[mrfinalfantasy]

i guess not..haha

[70k0]

OSX is built for hardware that is in Mac's, unlike windows that is just built to run on any other machine.

In other words, no, unless you break the law and get a patched version, but even still, it barely works.

Just buy a mac mini, they're cheap.

[Demoras]

Yeah. I'd get one if I was living in the USA. The base price for a Mac Mini over there is $599 (or €403). Over there it's €599. or $890. *gulp* And I wanted to get upgrades T_T

In fact, just change the symbol for any Mac price and you get the price what we have to pay.

But yeah. Compared to the other Macs, they're cheap.

[BarricadeSlade]

Kinda like the iphone and Windows mobile.

iPhone OS only runs on 1 phone.

Windows Mobile runs on hundreds.

Apple made it that way so some idiotic company wouldn't put it on a phone with a 150MHz processor or something.

[affgaan]

Wazzup? An ereror occured?? wtf, everything else works fine :S

[PeCeTfull]

On my previous comment to this video I tried to install in MS Virtual PC 2007 the VM Additions to Windows 95 but cannot be installed. So I searched Google for a help and found a site "vpc(dot)essjae(dot)com". I found that resources why VM Additions from VPC 2007 cannot be installed on a Windows 95 machine but also found an ISO Image of VM Additions from VPC 2004 so decided to install this older version.

[PeCeTfull]

After install on the first booting after restart BSOD appeared (I was feeling distressing at this time) but tried the second restart and it works but on 16 colors and the Display properties appeared. I selected the previous settings (so the graphic card drivers without VM Additions support) and it restarted without rebooting by going again by BIOS (only system reload) and finally, it works for me again but now on Virtual PC 2007! Thanks for this very nice tip to VPC Guy - Ben Armstrong!

[badaudio]

Would my computer implode, if I used VMware to run Vista inside of Vista?

[RickyTomatoes]

Initech? THE Initech from Office Space? LOL

[RickArter]

awesome vm

[TheGnomeLocker]

Cant add much other then to say, awesome!

[phil9421]

I am having issues with the virtual machine, when i have to use physical drive E: i can't click on it, any ideas?

[RickyTomatoes]

What is drive E:? A hard drive? dvd/cd-rom?

[whyweweb]

I'm no computer expert. what is actually a virtual machine & why do we need it?

[qabandiman]

It allows you to run an operating system in a operation system,

For example, you have a mac installed and you want to use windows XP

you can reinstall OR!

you can use a virtual machine wich will run windows XP in your mac. like a game or something.

[whyweweb]

Thanks!

[hhiibbeess]

n his dog cute xxx

[hhiibbeess]

okkk??? what is he talkin about all i can say is i am on vista it AMAZING

[creativeatheart]

I found that parallels in mac os x is better than vm, but thats just my own personal opinion. They're both great!

[PeCeTfull]

The most comfortable for me Virtual Machine software all the time is still Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 but I think that is just my habit. I was trying to convert machine on VMware Converter (using more than one kind of VMDK format) and running it on Innotek VirtualBox but had some problems with detecting drivers so I decided to capitulate.

Also I cannot install VM Additions to Windows 95 but I can do it on a older version of MS Virtual PC - 2004.

BTW thanks for the tips, Chris!

[rooboy69]

"sandboxing"

[lakercoolman]

Great tips love the fact that you can test software very useful to use with free programs that im paranoid to download so thanks chris love the videos keep em up

[Subzyr0]

To bad the vm dosent work on xp home.........

[jesse336699]

Yeah it does, it says its not supported but it will still work o_O

[HEarl114]

I would love to move to XP

[azaas]

hmmm and this is important because.....?
