If you are a serious developer, you are testing your products against different environments. But that’s difficult. You can’t have IE 4, IE 5 and IE 6 on one system, or you have to choose between Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Or between Windows 2000 server and Windows 2003 server. And why does that stupid client still wants NT4 support?
It sounds like a commercial, but if you have VMWare Workstation, these problems are solved. I bought it in the 3.x days, when VMWare started to be a REAL alternative to a multi-OS-boot. I skipped version 4, because I didn’t need the new features. But there is a beta for version 5 now. It supports all the latest OS-es out there and a few more 😉 The beta is public, but if you’re not a VMWare customer yet, you need to sign up. Go to this page for instructions.
