VMware Workstation vs. Sun VirtualBox
Both are free hardware virtualization tools that can be used for testing purposes. This type of software lets you run multiple operating systems at the same time on a single computer. If you plan to try these, you should consider using a virtualization tool. Testing in a virtual environment has many advantages even if you have PCs for testing purposes. Sun VirtualBox is free software from Sun Microsystems. VirtualBox has its own disk format VDI (Virtual Disk Image), but it can open Microsoft’s VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) format and VMware’s VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk File) format.
