thanks , from your notes: DaVince: here in my opinion as you don't need a whole seperate OS installed that eats its own chunk of system resources and makes your apps inaccessible from anywhere outside the VM(as i use fedora and want to work with it) John Drescher: No, I said vmware will be slower and require more resources 3vi1: but Wine integrates better with the native OS. i prefer to use wine. thanks for your reply.
