Maybe you already read SIMATIC Virtualization as a Service I'm mainly using VMware to have different versions of WinCC available for developing purposes. |

1. VB is very fast and supports a lot of Hardware. Simatic Software is running very well in a virtual box. It is free of Charge, just need a registration. 2. The Google - keyword is "XP Mode". Perhaps, XP-Mode is not supported any more by Win8...? I found a link for you: http://www.intowindows.com/xp-mode-in-windows-8/ |

On some older machines, I did notice that VMWare Workstation works (a bit) faster than VMWare Player. Do you have the same experience? |

Dear SteBo I have only tried VMWare Player once but quickly switched over to Vmware Workstation due to its obvious advantages ... Maybe what you have notices is right, but I have not really felt the difference. Cheers Navnag |

I'm using VM Workstation on my laptop a lot, laptop has 8GB RAM but most VM's are only assigned 1GB RAM, working smoothly, unless you want to have several VM's open at the same time. At home, I have a PC with only 4GB and VM Workstation works better on it than VM Player. |

might be but baremetal ESXi server with dedicated machines isn't an option for people working for random customers, you see us taking a baremetal ESXi server in our backpack on the road daily? |

I think n00delsstressed on "for testing purposes". We need not have big setup of Servers / Cients during testing / development, Virtual Machines within abaremetal ESXi server can do the job. Cheers Navnag |
