Deep Thoughts with Richard Schoen

If you develop PC and cross platform software like we do, I would recommend looking into using Microsoft Virtual PC or VMWare Workstation to set up testing environments. These tools allow you to truly run separate copies of an operating system such as Windows or Linux on the same PC where you develop. The best part about these tools is you can boot up into a Virtual PC environment such as a test version of Windows 2000 or XP, make as many changes as you want and then close the session and all the changes you just made don’t get saved. The ability to journal all of your changes and then commit them to disk only if you say so is a powerful feature of Virtual PC software that makes it a must have product for PC software testing.
