[clue] VMs on laptops.

[David L. Anselmi]

At SFS today everyone brought (well, or borrowed) a laptop and we did all the class work on a VM. 
Is there any trick to running VMs on laptops?  What combinations of CPU and virtualization software 
work or are problematic?  How do you do it?

I looked once and it seemed (at least in the low-mid range) intel laptop CPUs didn't support 
virtualization.

I also tried to set up a VM on my i3 Windows laptop (to run Linux, of course).  The Windows VM stuff 
doesn't come with whatever flavor of Windows I have.  Virtual Box installed, and I guess ran without 
CPU support when configured that way.  And didn't seem very stable so it didn't last long.

I haven't tried any of the VMWare products lately.

Thanks!
