Booting from a VHD(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by CharlieCalvert(7875) 2 years, 8 months ago

Hosting an OS in a virtual machine can be very useful for developers, but sometimes one pays a price in terms of performance. In Windows 7 developers can get improved performance in virtual machines by native booting a VHD. First create a Virtual PC that hosts Windows 7, then restart your computer, and finally boot directly into the VHD that contains the Windows 7 OS. When you native boot a VHD your virtual machine runs very close to the metal; performance is greatly enhanced and you have much better support for OS features that may not be available inside a standard Virtual PC. read more...

Is Nick Stakenburg Bullying His Open-Source 'Competitor'(naspinski.net)

submitted by naspinski(610) 3 years, 2 months ago

This is obviously a scare tactic used by a vendor to frighten a 'competitor' who is encroachinig on his sales. Nick (the vendor) is jarred by the fact that someone has released a comparable (better?) product that his and it is free. It behaves somewhat the same, so obviously it was copied... This is a serious issue, we can't let companies push around open-source with threats like this. read more...

Moq: Why do we need yet another NET mocking framework?(clariusconsulting.net)

submitted by powerrush(3873) 4 years, 2 months ago

"I've already argued in the past why I think forcing regular developers to learn and understand the difference between a stub, a fake, a "true" mock and a dynamic mock is unproductive and largely irrelevant for their TDD needs. Also, even though quite common in the mocking community, the typical record/replay model is alien to developers and introduces yet another new concept that makes the learning curve steeper than needed.
