VirtualBox has the widest range of host system support and has
the lightest hardware demands, and excels for single PC personal
virtualization needs, but requires more UNIX/Linux command-line skills
when used as server virtualization solution. VMWare 2.0 has an
excellent web-management UI with the lightest client payload, but this
comes at the expense of heftier hardware requirements for good
performance and a fatter software drop on the server.[Read More]

Some softwares such as HDS Offline SVP for 99x0 needs to access configuration data from floppy drive, and the floppy drive has to be A: . For Windows platform, this condition has never been a problem, but for Mac OS X using CrossOver software, it is a little bit tricky to do.
For CrossOver 6.x for Mac OS X, when inserting USB Floppy drive into USB slot, it appears in the bottle windows as G: drive mounted to /Volumes/CONFIG1, where CONFIG1 is the floppy disk label. In this regular case, the software that needs to access A: drive will never find the floppy.
To archive this, please follow the steps below :
(1) Click on the "Configure" ==> "Manage Bottles"
(2) Click on the "winecfg" item, then click on "Launch selected item" button
(3) The 'Wine configuration" window will show, click on "Drives" tab
(4) Observe that there is no A: drive available at the moment
(5) Open the 'Terminal' window (Goto Finder/Go/Utilities), click on "Terminal"
(6) cd ~/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/WinXP/dosdevices (where WinXP is bottle's name)
(7) ln -s g:: a::
$ ls -l

Windows 'fails' active virus test
It has been said by Microsoft Chairman, Bill Gates, that Vista is the more secured than any other operating systems available on the market. @#$%^&* Ok, ok, I will be a little bit open-minded. Try me, give me some proof.
Testing with the virus bulletin ?, Ok I can accept that. Then what's the result.
Oh man, you just failed me !!!. Below is what BBC report...
"Vista comes equipped with several different security tools Security tools that work with Windows Vista have failed tests to see if they can detect viruses circulating online. Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare security tool was one of four products that failed independent tests carried out by the Virus Bulletin.
The security testing group found that Live OneCare missed far more active viruses than any other program tested.
To pass the tests anti-virus tools must spot and stop 100% of the malicious programs used to attack them. "
