We had a mini discussion last night on chat. There was debate about which is best.
So,
– Which is best for dev and test ?
– Which is best for production ?
– Which is cheapest ?
– Is virtual box any good ?
I use hyper-v on Windows 8 with 32 GB. Got 3 versions of SharePoint running most of the time and its awesome. I still remember the horror days of Virtual Pc. Microsoft have come a long way.
I am really a Hyper-V fan, however I can’t deny that VMware is very good as well. My favorite is Hyper-V for sure, especially since now it works on Windows 8 as well so I don’t have to spend hours to find the wireless driver on a Server OS.
However, even if I am a Hyper-V fan, I can tell you two things that VMware has, and Hyper-V doesn’t. And man, I would love those features.
1. COPY PASTE . VMware had it for sooo long. don’t have to RDP to your VM to copy paste stuff.
2. RESOLUTION. VMware has this nice resolutions, and you can go full screen! Like an RDP but directly from the console. Hyper-V is still in 800×600 or close to that.
