Hi !
I have a tough choice. Client have an Intel-based Quad-Core PC with SuSE 10.3, and time to time (~1 - 1.5 hours day) needs Win XP with Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamveawer and some weird video editing programs. He does not want to reboot he;s workstation in "clean" WinXP-only mode.
The obvious cantenders for virtualization are: VMware, VirtualBox and Xen (KVM/QEMU does not suitable because it lacks guest OS video acceleration).
The question is - which of these virtualization solutions will offer best performance, especially in terms of graphic/video screen redraw, sound latency, and 3D graphic ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).
As to VMware: The free version, VMware Server, is NOT optimized for desktop use. It works, but not the way you're describing. You would need to consider VMware Workstation and I don't have any experience with that.
