Ok I got one of those stinkin locked down Corporate PCs. Yep one of dem.
I wanted to put CentOS and my other Linux PC’s image (The one I used until the Corporate Execs caught me. Jack booted thugs).
Anyway I thought (stupidly of course) let’s give Microsoft’s Virtual PC a try. Nope. Choked and then spit it out. Not what a geek wants from his trusted minion.
Next up let’s try Sun Microsystems’ Virtual Box. Ahhhh bliss. A free solution to the “You’ll run what WE want whether you like it or not you cubitized pond scum”. LOL I now run Linux “underneath” the corporate package. Network is connected, I’m even sending to the corporate printers. Way cool. I thumb my nose at those dweebs.
Props for VMWare. I use it at home and it is truly seamless. I don’t run it on the corp PCs so that the suits won’t have even more cause to, umm, flush me. You can see by an other post that they work us hard. Some of us need not work as hard because we’re 10 times more productive than the other 100 mediocre programmers. So we skate and the manager’s lick our boots and think we ARE gods! Mwhwhahahaahahahaaaaaa
