I tend to do most of my dev on the host machine, with the VM serving as servers, integration and CI http://ayende.com/3236/attack-of-the-virtual-machines#comment2http://ayende.com/3236/attack-of-the-virtual-machines#comment2Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:02:46 GMTI love the concept of working in VMs, whereby not having to "muck" with your core "host" OS. However, I always end up finding the performance too slow (I have used VMWare Workstation so far). I usually have 4GB of RAM in a high end laptop and dedicate about 2GB to the guest OS. Forget about having more than one VM running at a time - impossible performance... I am genuinely interested in finding out whether you can actually effectively work in VMs to do serious development. If so, I wonder what I could be doing differently or better to get acceptable performance... Are there any "gotcha" pointers?
