On topic, but very basic. – Novelocrat Jul 16 '10 at 22:10

@Novelocrat - If this gets to the commit phase, its a good judge of if the founding community wants to entertain basic questions. – Tim Post Jul 21 '10 at 18:38

	Not sure if questions like this should be on topic or not. – Leigh Riffel Jul 19 '10 at 14:49
	I too feel its not a great example. But I can't say for sure, because I don't know if there are really any difficulties in installing Oracle on VMWare. But again... no software product will explicitly write anything explicitly about being supported on virtual environment. – bits Jul 21 '10 at 13:41
	I think asking people for prior trial and error is on topic for this subject. Voting as on-topic. – Tim Post Jul 21 '10 at 18:32

And both the users have different clipboards, and full control over switching them. Dragging one window to another screen should be possible. And copying code around should be just a matter of switching clipboard. HDD, memory, printers are all shared. Just exploring possibilities of ideas. – bits Jul 16 '10 at 3:51

This should go on superuser. Would not sensibly be implemented with virtualization. – Novelocrat Jul 16 '10 at 22:10

If you think it "would not sensibly be implemented with virtualization", then it must be a "great off-topic example". Thanks for your contribution. – bits Jul 16 '10 at 23:55

It is, indeed a great off topic example. – Tim Post Jul 21 '10 at 18:36

Definitely on topic as I have done this myself. (Using VirtualBox on Windows Vista) – George Edison Jul 24 '10 at 1:24
