They're used for testing websites under IE (and are accessed via RDP). Unfortunately, I have been having horrible performance issues with Windows XP under Xen. I've emailed the centos-virt list to see if anyone has ideas about that. What I'm hoping to find out from people on this list is other suggestions on what to use to virtualize XP under Linux or if Xen is what most people are using. Secondly, I'm curious what people use for testing sites under Internet Explorer (my devs all use Macs, and I don't want to have them virtualize on their machines). Plus, they need to be able to test under IE6 and IE7/8. Thanks, Ryan _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
