Is anyone aware of a free (as in beer) VM that will run on a wide range of windows hosts (XP/Vista/7/etc), that comes with a full management API (at least the ability to create, monitor, start/stop and snapshot guest VMs) ?
I looked at VMPlayer, but its VIX API appears to be crippled for that product. I looked at Xen, and it comes with a management API, but Xen only runs on Linux hosts.
thanks Steve
Have a look at VirtualBox I have ran that succesfully on both XP and 7, have not tried Vista
