[AccessD] VirtualBox

Yeah looks like VMware player is it.  Just set up an xp vm.  Seamless.

And while I was writing - a W7 vm finished - network access is there.  

Should be a spit and a list now to make O2007, O2010, and O2013 VMs.

Just went to the VM Ware site and got overwhelmed with the number of
products - most of which have descriptions that make little sense to me. Is
it Vmware Player that I want?

TIA

I used VMWare for several years with success - I used to have a separate VM
for each version of Office.  I don't remember having any problems with
networking/Internet.

I switched over to Parallels when I moved to Macs, but that wasn't out of
any dissatisfaction with VMWare.  If I remember correctly, Parallels at the
time had more features than VMWare Fusion for OSX.
