If I stuffed up, I could roll back to the snapshot and try again. If I was happy with the state of a VM, I’d snapshot it and continue experimenting. I found snapshots particularly invaluable. Cloning and snapshots are included with VirtualBox. A bit of digging around and I realise I’m not able to clone a machine in WP. Interesting… I need to upgrade to WP Pro to do snapshots. I cranked up WP and was presented with the following screen. Anyway, after further research, I figured out that what I needed was Workstation Player (WP). …and the downloads page from the side menu… It’s pretty obvious what virtualisation software I need to acquire. Here’s a screenshot of the home page for VirtualBox. Turns out, a number of products are covered under the VMware umbrella. I had assumed VMware was the virtualisation software.
The first challenge for me was to figure out exactly what constituted VMware virtualisation software.
In this post, I’ll do the same thing, but use VMware instead of VirtualBox. In an earlier post, I used VirtualBox to create a Windows 95 virtual machine. This is the second in a multipart series on virtualisation software.
