Listen to Microsoft: Which virtual machines can get Windows8

Windows 8 Developer Preview Edition is driven, it is the time when all kinds of virtual machine software products compete for each other. What is the victory or defeat? Look at the soft media Xiaobian to you slowly -
1, Oracle VirtualBox (Oracle virtual machine):
is the first to support Win8 virtual machine, since the arrival of Windows 8 leaked version (Microsoft's own Both virtual machine software can't run Windows 8 Leakage), which is unique. At the same time, it has the advantages of small size, free, and built-in simplified Chinese. Since everyone is the first choice for Windows 8 developer preview, the soft media also provides "Installing VirtualBox under Win7. Can the system not find the specified path?" "", "VMware 8 virtual machine installation Windows 8 complete Raiders", "VirtualBox virtual machine installation Win8 preview version failed" and many other articles introduced VirtualBox.




When everyone uses VirtualBox to experience the Win8 development preview version, it is a lot of problems; especially the computer CPU does not support hardware virtualization users, error reporting.
Second, VMware Workstation 8 official version
VMware Workstation is a powerful desktop virtual computer software that allows users to run different operating systems and develop, test, and deploy new applications on a single desktop. The best solution for the program. Relative to VirtualBox, it is indeed a large size (VMware 8 is 442M), English version, installation requires a registration code and other "disadvantages".
