That sounds cool - but what does it mean? Why would I want it too? Tell me, so that I can envy you more.

Moonie, what version of VMWare are you running?

VMware is an operating system that lets you run multiple "virtual machines" on a single computer. So he can have the equivalent of 3 (or more) different computers running the same time on the same hardware. Among other advantages, you can screw up one of the "virtual" operating systems all you want and easily revert back without effecting your main operating system at all. So, since I know Moonie hates Vista, I presume he's installing a Vista Virtual Machine for the purpose of seeing how badly he can break it without worrying about reinstalling his entire OS.

Basically. I'm hoping, as you have alluded to, that SP1 will fix up some of the issues Vista has. I also have clients that are starting to use Vista so I need a playground to work with no matter what my personal feelings about it are.

In essence VMware is a program like Microsoft word is a program

Word lets you load and work on multiple documents

VMware lets you load and work on multiple PC's

So Daughter-Of-Computer-With-No-Name runs Windows XP. I then run the VMware application (just like starting word) and that loads an entire new PC.

As long as you have disk space and memory it all goes along swimmingly.
