Work Flow Development

[Felix]

Further evaluating VMWare and VirtualBox with different setups found out the following:

- I have noticed that windows 7 in a virtual machine runs very fast compared to windows 10
  The difference in working speed and responsiveness is huge.

- It will let you run a virtual windows 7 even on a cheaper usb pendrive with fat32
  and still have fast working speed and responsiveness.

The choice for building a VirtualMachine with the Get-Simple CMS will be Windows 7 and VirtualBox

a) Since Laragon, vcredist_x86_c++, Browsers, Notepad++ etc. etc. all work on Windows 7
b) Working speed and responsiveness is still fast with VirtualBox
c) VirtualBox is opensource


Something about the VirtualBox native vdi format and the vmdk format

The vdi file format only allows a single file setup which can grow into very big sizes.
Luckily VirtualBox also allows the vmdk file format:

- Allows the virtual machine setup to split over 2Gb files
- Makes the virtual machine also run from fat32 usb pendrives


=======================================

Next week I will have ready a virtual machine with the get-simple cms
with laragon (php5.2 / php7.x / php8) and notepad++
