Vista Host

[astorre]

Hope some one can help.

I was advised by a friend to run vmware server instead of virtual pc. I am looking at buying a new pc so I can continue with my Microsoft Certs using virtual machines Virtual PC require Vista Ultimate to run, I was hoping VMware could be an alternative to reduce costs.

Is it possible to run VMware server on Windows Vista Home Premium?

Are you asking about running an ESX-Server on Vista, or running a virtual PC, as a server?? ESX-Server runs it owns "base software", with other machines OS's on top of it.

VMware makes several products. VMware Server (free) would probably work, as would VMware Workstation or whatever it's called now.
