Another example: I own a Mac and write some software that can be used with either a MySQL or Microsft SQL database. I obviously need to test and make sure it works on MS SQL but I don’t have a Windows server. So I create a VMWare virtual machine of Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 and can now test everything while sitting at the same computer and not needing a separate computer. Also, since I really don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to managing a Windows database if I break something I simply delete the VM image and grab another fresh working copy that I have saved. You can pretty much do anything. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/vmware-fusion/46064)._
