Easiest (free) way to get VM hosting Windows OS, on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
- by John
I'm a software developer and my workstation is running Win7 Ultimate, 64bit. I want to run a virtual PC on which I can deploy and run the web-software I create, as a virtual web-server PC. I want the VM to also be Windows as that's what I know, the version isn't too important but on that PC I want to run things like MySQL, TomCat, etc.
I see VMWare make 'Player', also I see VirtualBox and I know MS also have solutions too, which I've heard good things about.
Does it make much difference which I use as far as creating & using VMs? Or are they all pretty similar?
