VMWare Workstation 7

Posted December 2nd, 2009 in Virtualization and tagged , , , , by Mike Stevens

Over the past couple of years, I have used VMWare Workstation to setup, provision, and develop SharePoint development instances.  I am still on version 6.5, but will be looking to upgrade to v 7.0 to accommodate my recent switch to Windows 7.  I have played around with Hyper-V and can honestly say it is a solid solution, but I cannot give up VMWare Workstation.  The tool is simply awesome and I can’t imagine going back to developing on VirtualPC or using another product like VirtualBox for SharePoint virtualization and development (since VirtualPC won’t currently support the 64bit operating systems required to run SharePoint 2010!).  I won’t bore you with my gushing and rambling on about the product (for more info go here)…but I do feel compelled to share this “Cyber Monday” gem that fortuitously landed in my inbox:
