Hi guys, I was wondering if it is possible to install vmware using vista as host OS and then installing windows server and serveral xp on the vmware. will it be possible to run such tasks as creating a domain on that virtual windows server and then joining the xp virtual workstations to the domain, and also setting permissions to the various xp virtual stations

I can't see why not, I've done it in Virtual PC so I'd say VMware can do it (and probably better too).

I've been interested in using vmware but since it costs money I avoid it and use Virtual PC, as I can't justify spending money on something I only use now and again to mess around with. Perhaps if my job required me to use a VM I'd consider getting something better like vmware, but till then it's Virtual PC for me :p

Yep.

We did that in college - our teacher had us install one primary domain controller and one backup domain controller on the same machine, which communicated with a workstation on a 2nd machine (of course, in vmware).

Umm if you're going to suggest Workstation, VMWare Server is also free, linky above. I prefer Virtualbox to VMWare. I find Virtualbox to be the fastest.

cause it support Direct X 8

you need DirectX 9 support to get aero & and a proper driver off course

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
