I personally am completely confused about VMs. Now we have even one more :-)
No - we do not have one more, just an updated rebranded version as I did in the past to make it more Pharo like.
On Win32 it goes like this: ===========================
A) Andreas provided the official Squeak VM on http://squeakvm.org/win32/   Last official one is 4.1.1, I just gave it a new pharo icon ("lighthouse"), name   and file ressource so one can see the VM version directly in Explorer.
  => unfortunately this is very outdated from 2010, no activity/response on     Andreas side and no new Win32 Squeak VM maintainer stepped up AFAIK
  Even when outdated we still use this as the standard VM in the Win32   Installer (see Pharo1.2), I will reuse this standard VM for 1.3 too.
B) Eliot provides the fast Cog VM on http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/   Last SVN revision is VM.r2474, again anything I do is building the   VM from subversion with another icon ("lighthouse with gear"), name and   a file ressource so one can see the VM version directly in Explorer.
  This Cog VM is also in the Win32 Pharo 1.2/upcoming 1.3 installer   so Win users can profit from Eliots work.
After using the Win32-Installer one can (by using the different icon "lighthouse" or "lighthouse with gear") start the appropriate engine to run his image.
I hope that we can get a better situation as soon as - the standard VM "A" is built right from the newest VMMaker - for "B" (the Cog VM) is either built from VMMaker or from Eliots SVN repo
And there is
C)
https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/view/Cog/job/Cog-Win32/
Which is auto-build and soon even auto-tested...
yeah, as soon as we figure out how to gain stability of win32 slave, because right now something strange happens after week or two of working it stops responding and i need to contact INRIA admins and ask them to reboot/kick its ass over and over again :)
