The choice of using VMplayer is somewhat simple: it's free (for non-commercial use), very good (if not best) performance and easy to use.

But at least with virtualization, one person can handle 3, 4 or even more virtual machines at the same time or in sequence, all with a single real machine.įor the readers that don't know what machine virtualization is, here are some pages on this subject at Wikipedia: Testing OpenFOAM installations on several different Operating Systems can take its toll.
