Why is Virtualization so Hot? Run Vista, Windows 7 and XP at the Same Time
Over the past several weeks, I have included Sun’s promotional movies for VirtualBox including the ‘how-tos’ throughout the blog over the past several months. While Beta Testing software, the example below shows a dual core HP Pavilion Laptop running Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows XP simultaneously along with Apache Server running Flow Matrix software and scanning with Umit (A Nmap Visual GUI) for vulnerabilities.
All three OSs (below) – note Apache in the lower right corner and only 20% CPU once stable.

Say Goodbye to Your Flashdrive
I said in an earlier post (old guys just know) that something new is coming around the corner. Computers are always changing and when prices fall to a low low price, there is usually something just around the corner. If you wondered why flashdrives (thumbdrives) were falling, you can see that eSata drives are available at a fair price and the transfer rate is awesome. Link
