Thank you, Arthur, I thought you have used more powerful hardware - but if it works well for you, no problem. I've even a bit "weaker" system than you do (and just 3GB RAM), and I can have several VS2010 sessions, as well MS SQL, MS Word, Excel and Access etc. running simultaneously. They work rather smoothly but it's becoming as you say "confusing" to have all that stuff opened on one physical box, so I'm considering upgrading my hardware to something more modern (but not as mighty as JWC has) to run development for different customers in different VMs... -- Shamil 13 ноября 2011, 22:21 от Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com>: > My hardware is pretty modest, Shamil, especially when compared with JWC's. > On the OS side, I run Windows 7 Ultimate.
