Soo, do you have any more ideas what qemu can what the (free) alternatives
from M$/VMWare can't?
I must admit I haven't used Virtual PC and have no idea about what it
can do, but I tried VMWare.
In terms of using, apart from the source code, I think the biggest
advantage of QEMU is the amount of hardware it can emulate. There's a
number of input devices, graphics cards, NICs, storage devices and
above all CPUs. VMWare can do only a very little part of this, and it
doesn't emulate the CPU at all, it only virtualises it. It won't run
on a platform different than i386 or with a guest different than i386.
So, QEMU is a quite generic computer emulator and I don't know if the
word "alternatives" can be used because they don't have the
functionality that I personally exploit in QEMU.
Also, if I was forced to use VMWare for some reason, I would miss the
flexibility of -monitor, -serial, and the options related to the
graphics display, as well as the debug info I can get from QEMU.
