Hi,
Is it possible using windows 7 or windows server 2008 to create 5 VMWare virtual machines so that 5 developers can use them using thin clients to work with Visual Studio 2008/2010 with all components (sql server express, IIS etc). what can be the options and the hardware specs for server and clients?
I am looking forward for all opinions.
Thanks and Regards.
It's certainly possible as long as you have enough cores, RAM and Windows/VS licenses. I often use Hyper-V for testing different Visual Studio installations, though I haven't had more than 2 running at the same time. I think you can pull this off, but you'll probably want 16GB of RAM and an 8-core processor. I'm not sure what problems you might run into with VMWare, but I think it would work with Hyper-V.
Good luck!
