Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
In an obvious reaction to the release of VMware Server as free download, Microsoft has announced that it will make all of its Virtual PC products free as well, including the upcoming Virtual PC 2007 for Windows Vista when it finally arrives.
So what's the difference between VMware Server and Virtual PC 2004? The
answer is quite simple really. VMware Server is much better, which it
is why it is the market leader.
VMware, owned by EMC, runs on both Windows and Linux as the host
operating system and supports virtual machines running a range of guest
operating systems, including Solaris, Netware, Windows and Linux.
In comparison, Virtual PC 2004 is almost strictly a Microsoft affair on
both the host and guest operating system sides. The Microsoft product
requires Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Tablet PC
Edition to run and supports Microsoft guest operating systems ranging
from MS-DOS 6.22 to Windows XP. It does, however, also support IBM's
OS/2 Warp version 4.0 we hear.
We know that VMware now has about 1 million licenses out in the field,
including 700,000 downloads since the free beta was announced in
Frebruary. We're not too sure how many Virtual PC 2004 versions are out
in the field as yet.
