maybe so but i just wanted a helpful response, instead i first get the "look, heres the search button" line and told to read a thread which id already seen and decided didnt help me all too much and had spent a few minutes already flicking over some other search results and didnt find a clear enough answer in my opinion to warrant not starting a new post.
Then upon realising id posted in General Discussion by accident and doing the unthinkable and for a moment there thinking that there could actually be a "delete thread" option, i get some nerd giving it thinking hes billy big balls.
And im sorry i didnt realise the number of posts you've made determines how much help you can expect.
On topic, thanks for the response, although i wanted to avoid downloading and testing each one individually, but on another post it seems VirtualBox seems to pretty popular from what ive heard so im probably go with that as i was originally thinking VMWare was going to be better suited for what i wanted to do.
i do like a good rant tho, ill leave you gents in peace now.
