Re: Free Virtual PC



Harry

We had a brief discussion about Virtual PC some months ago. It is
designed to run on any Windows operating system from XP onwards, but as
I pointed out then, it can also quite easily be made to run on w2000 too.

Maybe this is already common knowledge, but you can get Virtual PC for free (but only free for Win7). I learned about it from the ludicrously named "Kim Komando" who sometimes has good daily tips (fewer now than in past years--her tips have been dumbed down): "XP compatibility will work with many programs. However, some programs can be pretty picky. In that case, there is another option. "You can run a virtual machine. Basically, one operating system runs inside another one. In your case, you would run Windows XP inside Windows 7. "Microsoft provides virtual machine software called Windows Virtual PC. You can download it for free from my site. http://www.komando.com/downloads/category.aspx?id=8681 "Windows Virtual PC only works with Windows 7. Windows Virtual PC has stringent hardware requirements. However, it can be made to support more computers. Just install the newest patches for the program. You'll find links to the patches on my site." Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx
