Last view: 2206 days 		If you are running any OS in Virtualbox or vmware, then what will it be for your recommendation?

Mine will be Windows 98, because it really runs better than 95 as it should be.




Virtualbox runs better with Windows 98. Well, slightly better. ;D

NT 3.51, as it's a pain to set up properly (and sometimes to even install it), but when installed it's... interesting.

I'll just say that when installed the right way (proper 1020p+ True color resolution, sound, Ethernet), it can run a surprising amount of software.

(also, I never managed to install NT 3.51 on a VM, so I always started from an existing VMDK which didn't have sound, but that was easy to fix)

Next after NT 3.51, also try OS/2 Warp 4, MorphOS, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Ubuntu, ReactOS, and the list goes on and on ;)

Edit: Sadly MorphOS is PowerPC only so won't work in VirtualBox :S

Which may be one, because Windows Server 2008 doesn't supports most windows of applications.

OpenIndiana, which is a fork of the continuation of OpenSolaris.

It's not Linux. As I said, it's a fork of OpenSolaris, which was the open-source version of Sun's UNIX System V Release 4-based OS. That said, I think it has a GNU userland, and thus would have a lot of the same programs as Linux.

It looks Linux to me, but I like how everything style like Mac. I don't know if .exe can be able to run that version, but I know it can't because its for windows. So, it has to be some programs that runs with .exe.
