Multiple User Accounts vs. VMware Virtual Stations - Any Difference for Security?
 

Is there any difference in terms of security if you are using multiple Windows user accounts for each stealth eBay/PayPal on one VMware virtual station, vs. having them all on separate virtual stations?

I currently have each account on multiple VMwares but I need more and they take so much disk space. Also, I can't really run more than one at the same time as it gets too slow (PC's got 16GB RAM with i7 processor).

There's not much difference to be honest it's all down to your personal preference. I used to use VM's now I've switched over different user accounts. The only real advantages I've found to using user profiles are not being hit with sms verification when creating gmail accounts and the speed of setting them up where as the only real advantage I found to virtual machines are being able to run multiple machines at once (if using dedicated IP VPN's of course)
