VMware is awesome
It doesn't seem to like MacOS though.

Who browses in non maximized windows?
Blindy does, which is why he's always pissing and moaning about things breaking the tables.
The XP desktop is emulated using an application called VMware. The emulated computer can do more or less everything a real computer can do, including network with the actual computer. It's pretty swell.

Virtualization is very important in webhosting now. Not for any of the shitty things regular people do, but for enterprise-level websites serving multiple applications, or for companies doing SAAS.

Jeeze I can think of a myriad of practical purposes.
Load any other OS without needing a dual boot system, safely test a file for virus behavior, if you have software with a client and server component you can make two or three virtual computers, run the server on your own PC and use the virtual ones as clients to test all that out on one computer.
The uses are about as varied as having a whole network of computers laying around, without the clutter.
I got VMware part because I'm taking classes now and I need it for school, and part because I tri-boot XP, OS X Leopard, and Vista, and rebooting just to switch between them is a pain in the weener. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 07-27-2008 at 09:47 PM.

It's also against the OS X EULA (up until Leopard Server, but I doubt you've got your hands on that...). There's a lot of interesting (very technical) info about getting Darwin going under VMWare here: http://www.tgwbd.org/darwin/
VMWare Fusion and Cygwin are the only things that make dealing with Windows at work bearable. Alidane fucked around with this message on 07-27-2008 at 11:13 PM.

I browse non-maximized because I can multitask.
Pretty much. I'm either watching a video, chatting, or playing a game. So I can't stand browsing with a web browser taking up every inch of the screen.

Is this just your opinion or is Britain sorely out-of-date with their stereotypes?

Yeah maximizing would really make this so much easier to read.
