VM Ware
Don't know if I'm in the right forum, but if not I'm sure you'll let me know. I am trying to obtain VM Ware to prepare for the Network+ exam. I just passed the CompTia A+ certification now I'm off to Network+ and CCNA. I really need the software that will allow me to emulate the 2003 and 2008 Microsoft Server and also Windows XP. I,m financially destitute so I'm really hoping someone knows of some freeware that will allow me to meet my goal. I would appreciate any help in locating this software. Thanks for reading this.

Congrats on the A+ certification.
I would normally use VMWare, but there is a free alternative here: VirtualBox

You can use VMWare Player, which is free or VirtualBox as was suggested by ChoboSeki. You do realize that you have to provide the install disks and licenses to install 2003 and 2008 Microsoft Server and also Windows XP?

VM Ware
Thanks for the info ChoboSeki and Strollin. I will probably opt to get the VirtualBox. I think I will be able to get the software for the Servers and XP from my previous instructor. Thanks again guys.
