Talk: VMware

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

I thought vmware was specifically for the x86 platform, with something like bochs doing the entire machine, including hardware, emulation... -- Webhat 02:15, Jan 17, 2004 (UTC)

You're right, this really wasn't a clear explanation of virtualizing vs emulation and the tradeoffs of the two approaches. I've attempted to make it more accurate and comprehensive. Metamatic 19:06, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The guest OS must only be compatible with your CPU and eventual USB/PS2 devices that you choose to be used by the virtual machine(s). The rest of the hardware is emulated, so mainly, the guest OS must have more compability with VMWare's emulated hardware than with your real hardware. Even the mouse is emulated, ie., you can have a serial mouse working as a PS2 mouse in the guest OS. --193.136.128.7 01:14, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
