You'll have to register and login to this dysfunctional website to get
it, but VMWare is probably the best virt machine app.

They have Windows and Linux versions. Both proprietary.

About a 500MB download for the Linux version.

Only for running Windows. For running Linux on Linux, QEMU/KVM is
better. As I don't care about running Windows at home, I have no need of
VMWare.

Cool! I toyed with Win10 VMs (one 32- and one 64-bit) a tiny bit
under VirtualBox, but this would undoubtedly be a lot better. I don't
really have a use for a VM, though, with Wine existing.

Ah, the old “personal/noncommercial/educational use” weasel words.

Do they spell out what you are allowed to do with it? Are you allowed to
post videos on commercial sites? Use it to apply for a job? Demo it to
others?

THE TERMS OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“EULA”) GOVERN YOUR USE OF
THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF ANY TERMS THAT MAY APPEAR DURING THE
INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE.

BY DOWNLOADING, DEPLOYING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND
BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS
EULA, YOU MUST NOT DOWNLOAD, DEPLOY, OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND YOU MUST
DELETE OR RETURN THE UNUSED SOFTWARE TO US OR THE VMWARE CHANNEL PARTNER
FROM WHICH YOU ACQUIRED IT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ITS ACQUISITION
AND REQUEST A REFUND OF THE LICENSE FEE, IF ANY, THAT YOU PAID FOR THE
SOFTWARE.

EVALUATION LICENSE. If you license the Software for evaluation purposes
(an “Evaluation License”), your use of the Software is only permitted
for a period of thirty (30) days (unless we specify otherwise), and you
may not use the Software with production data. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this EULA, an Evaluation License of the Software is
provided “AS IS” without indemnification, support or warranty of any
kind, express or implied.

1. LICENSE GRANT.
1.1. General License Grant. We grant you a non-exclusive,
non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 12.1 (Transfers;
Assignment)) license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to
use the Software and the Documentation during the term of the license,
solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the
provisions of the Product Guide. Unless otherwise set forth in the
Order, licenses granted to you will be for use of object code only and
will commence on Delivery.

1.2. Users and Third-Party Agents. Under the License granted to you in
Section 1.1 (General License Grant), you may permit your Users to use
the Software, and you may permit Third-Party Agents to deploy and use
the Software on your behalf for the sole purpose of delivering services
to you. You will be responsible for your Users’ and Third-Party Agents’
compliance with this EULA, and any breach of this EULA by a User or
Third-Party Agent will be deemed to be a breach by you.

1.3. Copying Permitted. You may copy the Software and Documentation as
necessary to deploy and use the number of copies licensed, but otherwise
for archival purposes only.

1.4. Benchmarking. You may use the Software to conduct internal
performance testing and benchmarking studies. You may only publish or
distribute the results of the studies to third parties if we have
reviewed and approved of the methodology, assumptions, and other
parameters of the study prior to publication and distribution. Please
contact us at benchmark@vmware.com <mailto:benchmark@vmware.com> to

imposes greater restrictions on you than the applicable OSS license
terms. To the extent the license for any Open Source Software requires
us to make available to you the corresponding source code and/or
modifications (the “Source Files”), you may obtain a copy of the
applicable Source Files from our website at
www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html
<http://www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html> or by sending a

not, and must not allow any third party to: (a) use the Software in an
application services provider, service bureau, hosted IT services, or
similar capacity for third parties, except as specified in Section 1.5
(Services for Affiliates); (b) disclose to any third party the results

notices on or in any copies of the Software; or (h) violate or
circumvent any technological restrictions within the Software or
specified in this EULA, such as via software or services.

Software to the extent the laws of the Territory give you the express
right to do so to obtain information necessary to render the Software
interoperable with other software; provided, however, (a) you must first
request that information from us, (b) you must provide all reasonably
requested information to allow us to assess your claim, and (c) we may,

Of course not. I'm interested in software functionality, not philosophy.

Proprietary, licensed-not-sold, software is the best in the world.

Of course there's some great FOSS software, but in general unpaid
lackadaisical hobbyists can't compete with paid professionals whose jobs
and careers are on the line.

Software that is not a part of Windows in any way and which companies
have consciously chosen to rely on for additional protection.

My experience under Windows is that only some software I used was paid
or otherwise commercial in nature, without the FOSS community Windows
would be far less of a robust OS platform.

The only paid software I've used is Esri. Some, like SQL Express, Visual
Studio Community, or DB2 Community are commercial.

All that I can remember paying for out of my own pocket was BDS C and
Turbo Pascal for CP/M, Brief for DOS, and Borland OWL IDE/compiler and
Kaspersky AV for Windows. I'm excluding the cost of DOS or Windows that
was factored into the hardware I've bought.

I think I did buy one game but I can't remember what it was, some medieval
deal.

I've never had a need for the Office suite or some of the other 'killer'
Windows apps. Even at work they never installed Office on the programming
machines.

My favorite example is the start menu provided to Winblows 8.x by
Classic Shell, at the time*, not the *only* option for this purpose
but the obvious one to use, and M$ is totally OK apparently, because
they get to laugh at some people who just take this, preposterous,
full screen on a computer monitor, menu.

We had to use Windows, and I got tired of the ever-changing user-interface
(fsck you very much, Ribbon). And I got tired of having to google for the new
way of doing things that were working fine for me, such as how to add header
levels (IIRC).

A big-ass pop-up menu with "news" and other crap in it.

I kind of remember some piece of shit called "Charms", too.

It's very telling that Win10 and Win11 both shipped with start menus.
I really like 11's, but I didn't assemble this computer to run it for

The Fluxbox "Start Menu" is a right-click on an empty part of the desktop,
or, in my configuration, clicking Super-M (super = fscking Windoze key).

The menu layout is an editable text file, easy to read and modify.

An excerpt:

[begin] (fluxbox)
[include] (~/.fluxbox/rc/fluxbox-tmux-menu.rc)
[exec] (Terminal) {xfce4-terminal} <~/.config/personal/share/pixmaps/gnome-terminal.xpm>
. . .
[separator]
[include] (~/.fluxbox/rc/fluxbox-personal-menu.rc)
[include] (~/.fluxbox/rc/fluxbox-styles-menu.rc)
[separator]
[include] (/etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu)
[end]

Note the "includes". Modularity. I like it.

Yep, people in San Francisco see them every day in San Francisco. They
live in tents and smell like death. Every so often, you'll see home take

The people being paid to produce FOSS software are the ones working for
Red Hat and SUSE, companies who believe that it is more important to
hire negroes, pajeets and trannies than to produce quality software. If
you're White, you don't get hired and if you already work there, you
don't get promoted because Tyrone, D-Von, Muhammad and Mohinder are at
the front of the line no matter how incompetent they are. So yeah, you
can disregard my comment, but the reality is that a homeless sack of
crap taking a dump in a trash can is pretty much the equivalent of the
FOSS that will be produced from now on.

Why do you think that software wipes the floor with the best products
Microsoft and other proprietary companies can produce?

For an example specifically on-thread, look at the embarrassing stuffup
with VMWare that I mentioned earlier.
