When I did windows XP MCP and windows 2003 server MCP 10 years ago, My lecture said VMware was going to kick off big time. My mate who is in ICT didn't believe me at the time, He told me over a pint a couple of years ago, He you know something Andy, I wished I listened to you know about VMware, as its now heavily used now.
I found its great for it to run some old Windows Operating systems I have, ( ie NT4 ) but anything older than that can be a bit of bastard to setup. So if you have old DOS based stuff that requires a DOS based system, its going to be a bit of a bugger. Not sure what Vm machines are like to play games on, if you want to play those old PC games you have either.
I am wanting to have a go at diskless stuff and brush up on my ICT stuff again, as I think I still have unfinished business in that front. But going to play about with proper hardware rather than VMware.
