November 02, 2008 Excellent Product!,
March 14, 2007
I am absolutely very happy about this product. Not only does it allow me to do application software testing efficiently, but also allows me to practice for my Networking / MCP, MCSA certifications.
Now I won't have to build any more PCs - I can have a virtual laboratory using one PC.Nice guide for VMWare Workstation,
January 24, 2007 We are using this as our textbook in the operating systems class I am currently taking although it's a user guide and not a textbook. VMWare is not that difficult and if you are computer literate, you won't need this. If you do want / need a VMWare reference, this is definitely the one to have.
Cost $28 to buy a manual,
August 10, 2006 1. It is just a manual, not a text book that you want to learn more.
2. I don't think we need to spend $28 to buy a manual. Too Much!!
3. Easy installation if you follow the instruction from the book.Superior book on a superior product ,
April 20, 2006 When it comes to virtual computers installed on one physical computer nobody does it quite as well as VMWare. Version 5 of their workstation product is a significant improvement over earlier versions with easier installation, better discovery of available hardware, and many other features. While it is easy enough to install a basic system and the software pretty much installs itself the documentation of VMWare has always been lacking. This book fills that void by supplying a superb manual to match the superb software product. The author takes a kind of quick start approach as he goes through installation and upgrading, and then moves straight to creating a virtual machine so you can get working with it right away. From there he moves to some of the more advanced features such as working with snapshots, cloning a virtual machine, and working with teams. This is followed by a section on networking virtual machines, performance tuning, and optimization. He even includes an excellent section on tips and tricks. If you have the need for more than one operating system installed on your computer or just want to work with more than one then virtual machines is the easiest way to go about it. No rebooting and working in just one system at a time like a dual-boot configuration, you just run them both at once and switch back and forth as needed. And it will support more than just two virtual machines running at the same time. The VMWare Workstation 5 Handbook is highly recommended to anyone interested in the VMWare product.
