VMware Fusion 4.1 review

Now that Apple's Mac range is based on the Intel processor range, the architecture challenges for emulating a PC are considerably less significant than back in the PowerPC days. Fusion 4.1 is VMware's current offering in this marketplace.

VMWare Fusion 4 review

Fusion 4 is the newest version of VMware's virtualisation solution for the Mac, which allows you to run multiple operating systems within Mac OS X.

VMware vSphere 4.1 review

VMware's vSphere 4.0 cloud operating system, which we tested last June ushered in new methods to manage virtual machines on internal and external hosts. The 4.1 version, which shipped last month, delivers some much needed polish. Additions to the product include an updated vCenter Configuration Manager (formerly EMC's Ionix Application Stack Manager and Server Configuration Manager) as well as vCenter Application Discovery Manager (formerly EMC's Ionix Application Discovery Manager).

Sun VirtualBox 3.1 review

Everyone loves a freebie. Whether it's free beer, a free checking account, or a free-because-you-paid-to-attend tablet PC at a tech conference, getting something for nothing always feels good. However, none of us expects these freebies to be of a particularly high quality. The beer is watered down, the checking account has hidden strings attached, and that tablet PC is either underpowered, loaded with crapware, or both.

Parallels Desktop 4 review

Locked in a death struggle with VMware on the Macintosh platform, Parallels allowed its Windows version to languish for nearly two years while it focused on defending its Mac OS X flagship. Then, this past summer, Parallels surprised everyone by bringing forth Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows, a product that was on par functionally with Parallels Desktop for Mac, at least for a time.

VMware Workstation 7 review

VMware Workstation has long been the gold standard of desktop virtualisation. Powerful and sophisticated, yet easy to use, this pioneering tool sets the bar for solutions addressing this niche product category. In fact, VMware Workstation has been so far out in front for so long, it's hard to imagine a world in which this bellwether product isn't the class leader in virtually every category.
