Hey guys just now I try Vmware... you have a free version it's VMware Player...

I comment because I now here e are a few people using Linux like Host... ok, Virtual Box in the last versions runs fine, but we have some problems wit Acceleration 3D, ok Vmware make Glbasic runs like in Windows, 3d acceleration runs very good, the App don't crash and the machie it's more faster than Virtual Box... another good point... it's Vmware it's more near to windows than Virtual Box, I explain, in my App I have some keys for functions, in Virtual Box make extrange behaviors , in VMware runs doing the same like in Windows...

It's your choice depending you need, but rebember this version of Vmware don't have any cost, and ok another good point it's too much easy install "the guest additions" than in VB...

Only this guys, try it,a and if don't works fine in your system always you can  delete the machine..

Another very cool point at least for me, VMWare have Unity behaviour, this it's you have your applications of the guest system mixed with the Host System, the same do Paralells in Mac with Windows.

PS: I do a new machine, I NOT USE!!! the Virtual Box machine into Vmware

Yes, VMPlayer does seem to be the best virtual system around, especially for Linux

Well when I used a real Mac really parallels I think it's better than Vmware, but here it's practically the same. the only problem I think it's you can't say how many Video Ram wants use for the Virtual machines, Parallels have this option with a maximun 1Gb of Video.

Another little problem it's when use Unity really the speed goes down, but really my actual Machines isn't too much powerful I only have 4Gb of Ram
