Running the virtual machine 24/7

Post by shoxcorp »

Hello Everyone.

I have a question related to running virtualbox on OSX, with windows xp as a guest operating system 24/7.

Would there be issues if the virtual machine would be running the whole time?

Thanks in advance =)

Why not, I have a testlab where I run vbox against nearly all os's and erp/crm/gis/db products for 30 days continuesly, in fact I am running at the moment in a complete virtual environment via rdp, I had to since my laptop harddisk is slowly failing. In fact this forum is running inside vbox.

This forum runs in a VB VM. So no issues on that part. The OS you run as a VM might not like it though :P.
