I have recently become interested in implementing a basic x86 virtual machine. I think that it would be one the best ways to completely understand the way an x86 machine works. Other than the code base of open source VMMs like bochs, QEMU, kvm, or xen, what resources would you recommend that I look into to get started? ...

I am part of an organization in which there is contention amongst some very competent folks as to whether or not testing cross-browser behavior for JavaScript intensive web applications on virtual machines (for IE6/7/8, FF2/3, Chrome on XP/Vista/7) is reliable. This is using VMWare server on a Linux box host. While the discrepancies se...
I turned on AutoProtect and then decided I didn't want it. I found a several Gig size file in my VM folder. I tried to delete it after Shutting Down the VM (Win 7) But when I restarted Win 7 it complained that the snapshot files were needed. I restored them and was ok. How do I get rid of these AutoProtect created snapshot files? ...
It seems that the Windows Phone 7 SDK doesn't support running inside a VM. On Parallels, the entire VM simply crashes when the emulator is starting up. Around the web, though, a few people have reported that they were able to use it by changing a lot of the VM settings. What do I have to change to be able to run it? I'm specially int...

And intend to use it as follows; One W2008 R2 Guest running Exchange, File store, SVN and an accounting application for day to day running of the company. Multiple Guest VMs W2K, XP, Vista ...
I have an idea to streamline deployments of prototypes within our team using VMs. The idea would be that a developer would be able to deploy their artifacts to Maven, then use a Web interface to pull them onto a development VM for integration/regression testing. They would then be able to to push those artifacts to a reference system, an...

It's been a while since I am struggling to find a backup solution for cold backup of Oracle database on Linux in VMware. I am obviously not looking for entire vm image backup. ...
I'm developing an in-house .NET application that will be run on a VM (with VMware), and want to know if there's a way to get notifications from VM system events (like suspending, resumed, etc.) Anyone know of a convenient way to do that? The virtual machine has VMware Tools installed, does that provide a .NET API for hooking events? E...
We're in the middle of migrating from a windows & SQL 2000 box to a Virtualised Win & SQL 2k8 box The VMWare box is on a different site, with better hardware, connectivity etc... The old(current) physical machine is still in constant use - I've taken a backup of the DB on this machine, which is 21GB Transfering this to our virtual mach...
I have to differentiate between the real addresses and the VM addresses using any Windows API. I'm using Getadaptersaddresses API to populate a list of ipaddresses for the local machine. I need to extract only the "real" addresses apart from the addresses associated with the VMware network adapter and other addresses(auto-configuration a...

Is it a good idea to build RPMs and Debian packages on Cygwin? Our release server is windows, so our options are either that or start up VMs with linux to handle the task. I'm just not sure if VMs are taking a nuclear bomb to an ant. Is there a way to do the building in Cygwin? If so, how? So far I've found some clues...apparently Cygwi...
We're thinking of running our TFS 2010 application tier on a virtual machine using VMWare. We are a tiny shop (4 devs) and like the ability to upsize the power later. Data would probably reside on a real server. Hive mind: Please, tell me if this is a moronic idea. ...
