Hello,

Obviously from the subject line I am a developer. :)

I would like to know if anyone out there has had experience using
VMWare on iMac with XP with the XP VM running Oracle 11g or any
version for that matter and/or running SQL Server as well. They don't
have to run together; one database running at a time is fine.

I am developing projects using both DBs and wish to migrate to a iMac
and would like to get some feedback with these software products
running.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

I used to see requirements to run SQL Server on Virtual PC. Seems that
SQL Server checks for specific hardware and won't run on VPC, so such
people ended up buying an Intel Box. If the Virtual Machine doesn't
emulate the right hardware, you'll be in the same boot on an Intel
Macintosh.

The only way I think you'll be able to find out is to buy the products
and try it. If that's to much, I'd buy a PC that's supported and leave
the Macintosh for other projects.
