Newbie Question

I'm new to VMware and Virtualization and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction really quick:

Which piece of VM software would I begin with to use my computer to run a different OS?

Re: Newbie Question

Hi Matthew,

Getting a copy of VMware Workstation or Server would be a good place to start. A lot will depend on the type (spec. and OS) of machine you have.
Check out the links offered by Tai.
