So in an attempt to support a friend in testing goodies, I'm diving into virtual machines with no clue on what I'm doing. WOOOOOOOO.
I'm trying out VMware Workstation 12 with W8.1 AND Win7 (at once with two threads per machine and 4GB memory each and they share an empty HDD.)
So my real questions are what issues should I see come up? Is it like a desktop in a desktop? Should I treat it as a normal desktop that is sharing my physical desktop? The last time I attempted this didn't go too well.
