    VMWare and Virtual PC


    I have Windows 7 Pro with 9GB of RAM, I got to playing around with the Windows 7 Virtual PC and then the VMWare download. I did this because I want to play some old games that will not work on Windows 7. One thing popped in to my head though and that is what I am not sure of. If I am in the Virtual PC or VMWare, is it necessary to still do a defrag within the virtual pc?

    I do defrag in my Windows 7, but what about the in the virtual XP?

    Thanks

    I've never worried about it within a vm.

    I figured that I defrag from Windows 7 so why the need. Thank you for your fast reply.

Does anyone have any preference between Virtual Box and VMware Player?
Hi guys Virtual box seems to have come a long way since I last tried it -- back then vmware workstation was so far ahead that virtual box wasn't even regarded as a toy. Now it seems that its more robust and almost as easy as vmware workstation to configure and use -- and best of all it's FREE....
