Has anybody used VMWare (vmware.com, I think) for their
operating system?

I believe I heard someone had used it as a
virtual machine to boot and debug their os, and
I'm curious to hear any stories.

I'm fed up with having to reboot all the time,
especially right now, as I'm having serious
problems with my os, and am _constantly_ rebooting,
just to see if one thing is working correctly.

You know, I think the tutorail page for Mixing I/O's
have a "loader" kind of thing for Real mode OS like DOS.
This might be something to test ... but not so sure, ..

but have tried WMVare, but stopped soon using when
did not behave the same as hardver,even if the code is faulty,It shoudl behave the same,isn't it ??
Anyway,very slow !! Use dos,nearly as fast to boot up as WMVare,or get used to it !

guys,I remember when I booted up at least 200 times a day !!
