[dba-Tech] VM question

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Arthur:

First, the VMWare player is also free. Iit is supposed to be proprietary but the Open Source community is in the process of suing them, for patent act violations...as most of their code is already GNU licensed. VMWare is crazy simple to use and for me at least, has never failed on an install...VirtualBox has borged a couple of times.

Subject: [dba-Tech] VM question

Could someone who uses VMWare tell me what it brings to the party that free
alternatives such as Hyper-V and VirtualBox do not? It must be something
significant because the company continues to do well despite the free
alternatives. So what is it?
