A Word Of Warning Regaring Virtual PC

(1/3) > >>

anphanax:
It might be a little bit extra "work" to use something like QEMU or Bochs, but you might consider it.

I've noticed when I went from a "Trial Version" of VPC to the "Standard Edition" (I got it for free, legally too), that although my Windows 3.1 VPC image worked fine, my "Damn Small Linux" and "ReactOS 0.2.5" images were broken somehow. Good came out of it, since I learned 0.2.7 of ReactOS was out, but still.

Just a warning to people, that stuff breaks way too easily in VPC. It might have a nice "point-and-click" interface, but if upgrading from VPC 2004 Trial Edition to VPC 2004 Standard Edition breaks some of your images, it's not worth it.

It's Microsoft software do we need to say anything more, it's a shame there're no MS supporters like muzzy and Viper around at the moment to give thier opinion.

Kintaro:
Why anyone would run that shit when there is VMware, which is 358673094573x better, I have no idea.

noob:
i like vmware, its fast and really easy to use. and once the guest OS is running, it doesnt bog down the host too much. well, that may just be my cpu, but its still pretty good.

themacuser:
I use Virtual PC 6, it's the last non-M$ version. No VMWare on OS X (yet...)
