China DOS Union

Where can I get a keygen for VMware4.0rc2?

They’re all about the same. Anyway, I use vmware under WinNT,Win2k,WinXP.
Under Win98,WinME I use Virtual PC.

microsoft virtual pc is still better. I’ve used it to emulate unix linux and dos, all with no problems.
But vmware caused my win2k to crash several times.

(Repost) This is something I saw elsewhere before:

Some comparisons between VMWare and Virtual PC
Recently I studied VMWare and Virtual PC a bit and found they are very different in their technical implementation.

Memory section
First, VMWare uses an implementation method similar to preempting resources. That is, after you allocate a memory size for the virtual machine, once it starts running it will occupy the memory you allocated to it, regardless of whether it is actually used.
VPC is just the opposite; it will dynamically increase according to your actual usage.
Comment: It looks as if VPC’s method is better, but actual running speed is definitely much faster with VMWare.

Hard disk section
VMWare: after you specify the size of its hard disk, it cannot be changed, but you can add a second hard disk. Similar to a PC
VPC can dynamically expand the hard disk.
Comment: In actual use, VMWare’s disk efficiency is far higher than VPC’s

Summary
Since VMWare is much better than VPC at PC emulation, why did Microsoft choose VPC??? It should be noted that the VPC company does not only make PC emulators; PPC emulators and PS emulators are also their products.

PS: You cannot run a PPC emulator on a VMWare virtual machine!!!

I haven’t used it myself yet

What is it?

I like the real thing!

I can boot MSDOA7.10 under VPC, and I can also boot the UCDOS inside yours!!1

I don’t like using virtual machines. They aren’t real enough.

It’s necessary. Provide a detailed tutorial, and everyone can discuss it. Only after everyone becomes familiar with the basics of dos and linux will they dare to install on a real machine!

Actually they’re about the same. I use both, but virtualizing XP inside XP is very slow; the others are all okay.
My computer is a Gigabyte i845D, Hyundai DDR256+DDR128, Celeron 1.7, Western Digital 7200 rpm 40G.
The statement below is very insightful, but the most exciting thing is doing virus or disk data tests inside it

I have always thought VMWare is much better than VPC, and not just a little, I now usually use it to virtualize multiple systems. It is very useful for testing or screenshots for articles! For net friends with 256M or more, it should be one of the must-install software tools ___ that’s what I think

I’ve used both of these software tools, so I’ll express my own view: Similarities: both are great. What they emulate is an absolutely real computer. I didn’t believe it before, but after using them I finally believed it! VMWare is the boss of the virtual machine industry; the software it makes definitely has no problems! Virtual PC is Microsoft’s product, and installing Microsoft operating systems has no problems. The effect of both is absolutely unexpectedly satisfying! I think people who haven’t used them should spend a day studying them before speaking; it will definitely be different! Both emulate a virtual environment. No matter what machine the virtual machine is installed on, this environment is the same. That is, software installed on one machine can be booted in the virtual machine on another machine without any modification. Differences: the hardware of the virtual environments the two emulate is not the same. VMWare does not have a real graphics card, while Virtual PC emulates a real graphics card. If installing UCDOS, there is a difference between the two: VMWare cannot install it, while Virtual PC has no problem. However, both can use the Tianhui Chinese character support system. But when both are running the Chinese character system, there is a keyboard output fault. For example, enter EDIT, then press the cursor keys a few times, and your keyboard will become as if the Shift key were automatically pressed: 12345 becomes !@#$% I don’t know the reason. Only manually pressing Shift will restore it. I have never found a solution to this problem, but if you do not install a Chinese character support system, there are no problems. Both can install PCTCP software for networking, and can ping the host or other computers on the network. After installing Windows 98, and after installing different Tools, the effects are all good. One better point of Virtual PC is that the resolution of the Windows 98 Guest automatically adjusts as your screen is enlarged or reduced; however big you drag the window, the resolution automatically adjusts to that size. It is really convenient, but the minimum resolution cannot be lower than 640*480. Both can network, use IE, automatically Windows Update, and so on. In short, what is virtualized is a real computer, no doubt! It’s just that the speed is a little slower

I feel Virtual PC is a bit easier to use
