Windows accounts VS VMA

[ItzakJano]

Hey there.
Was reading about the VMA, i have understood that its like running few PC's from same PC.
Meaning - seperate cookies and flash.

But what is the diffrence, if im just using seperate windows users?
Also seperate cookies and flash.

What am i missing?

Yuo better look into VMware Workstation. VMA is for managing lots of VMware ESXi servers.

As for operations, workstation van have 3 or 4 tabs open and running at the same time.

You can only use one windows user account at a time. So you have to log in and out of each to operate.

so basically the diffrence is
VMA - pressing the tabs down the page to change userss.
Regular user change - Pressing "swith user" to change users.

VMware Workstation not VMA.

And logging out of a user and logging in and connecting to the internet with users every time compared to clicking a tab much like a tab on your browser and always being logged in.

Understood. Thanks.

Very impressive!

Well, sometimes knowing too much is bad. For me, VMA is vSphere Management Assistant, a tool for managing multiple VMware ESXi servers.

For managing multiple computer User Logins on a MAC I have been informed it is easier using VmWare -> VmWorkstation to separate cookies ect...

I stumbled across an app called FLUID for Mac's that appears to have the same ability. I was using it primarily for quickly accessing eB Managing Tools, than read it is able to have separate safari cookies ect... for each attached profile

This sounds like a plausible Mac replacement for VmWorksation?

Anyone have any knowledge of this?

Here is the link to Fluid:
Fluid - Turn Your Favorite Web Apps into Real Mac Apps.

VmWorkstation - Windows
Fluid - Mac

It's just an easier way of doing things once you get past the setup stage.

You can either setup different user accounts per eBay/PayPal combo or use something like VMWare which is like running a computer within a computer.

Either option works for eBay/payPal.

I have been considering VMWare as well
Is there a cheaper version of VMWare Workstation, I see one that is $249, or am I looking at the wrong product?
