Following are a few reasons I like VMWare better.
1) When using NAT networking i can have my VPC talk to the corporate
servers via VPN (Virtual Private Network). I could not make VirtualPC
work. This is important to me since i am a %100 remote employee.
2) I can have VMWare build its hard drives in pieces. I choose 2gig
chunks. This makes it much easier to defragment my hard drives.
3)VMWare can emulate dual core processors meaning you can actually
troubleshoot concurrency problems in them.
4) VMWare feels much more responsive but have no actual performance
statistics to back this up.
I have been using Virtual PCs for many years. I use VirtualPC about 70%
of the time because the team I am in has chosen that. I use VMWare when
not doing work related to the team.
Hope this helps.

Hey All,
I'm just wondering if any of you fellow developers has done any formal
evaluation between VirtualPC and VMWare or other similar tools and what your
thoughts were on the subject.
Thanks,
