Hi <br>
<br>
We have used VirtualPC but have recently installed Virtual Box which I
really like. However I have struggled to get it to accesss the network
(which just works out of the box on Virtual PC). I am running Windows
7 but just cant get it to see other machines on the network. Any tips?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Rob<br>

a previous user of VMWARE and have been using Virtual Box for a while.
I'm pretty happy with Virtual Box.<br>
<br>
Reports from the Client environment I'm working in is that the
performance of the "free" VMWARE versions are crippled (as expected
from a commercial standpoint). So if you are expecting performance and
want to use VMWARE then buy it.<br>
<br>
One of the differences between the two products is supprot of serial
ports - really only of relevance to people doing industrial type
applications.<br>
