Referring to Kevin’s article, I was impressed a few weeks ago when I witnessed the Mac out performing a PC….

We were in a training class with Wonderware Central, our local Wonderware distributor.  The instructor was using a Mac with VMware’s fusion product running the Wonderware software.  We were all stepping through a demo, and when it came time to “publish” our work (something that required a little crunching), we all did it at the same time.

To my amazement, the Mac with the VMware software was done faster than my Sony Vaio, and a couple of my developer’s Dell laptops.

The lines are getting blurry…

Scott, were you using VMWare/VPC on your laptop or were you working in “native” mode?

Greg,
I know on my Sony I was using VMware. I am pretty sure the two other guys from Flexwar were using a VM too. So it was VMware players on all laptops including the Mac.

I think everyone has at least 2Gb of Ram, but now sure how much everyone had allocated to the VM player.

Thanks for the reply.
