Ah, yes. But how do you get the selected app.s, sans the monstrosity they ride in on
? -- that's the trick. ODIN was always rather sketchy and limited, Connectix | VPC
has been co-opted by Redmund. But I just saw the press release on the VOICE List
about SVISTA, which sounds like a full replacement for VPC, with a nice array of Host
| Guest OS options. If that turns out well, *and* they price it for sale to end
users, this will be very good news indeed. I could see scrapping my W2K partitions
entirely.
