Desktop virtualization review: VMware Workstation vs. Oracle VirtualBox
Few technologies have had a greater impact on business efficiency and IT productivity than virtualization. While most of the impact has been felt in the data center and in the cloud, virtualization has also transformed IT work on the desktop, where it retains an important role. Here I compare the two leading products in this category: VMware Workstation and Oracle VirtualBox.In executing tests on Workstation 11, I ran into almost no headaches, and in the few cases an item surprised me, I found useful information in the ample VMware documentation. Good documentation has for years been one of the hallmarks of VMware products.

That’s even as Americans have become bigger users of credit and debit cards and have begun using online payments like (eBay’s) soon-to-be-spun-off PayPal, and more recently, Square (and) Apple Pay. Some have even used virtual currencies like bitcoin.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
