Re: Win 8 v. Win 7

That sounds right. One thing I am curious about I found under the VM
page at the site: a prepared VMware VM of W2K sp4 which, however, is
3 times the size at 929 MB. I am going to download and test that just
to see if it might be a convenience.

I had a private discussion with Bill on downloads. There are abandonware
sites that have W2K (e.g. http://winworldpc.com/library.shtml). For
installing W2K from a CD or files, you should first build an ISO image,
it makes the VM installation a snap. ImgBrun (http://www.imgburn.com/)
can make the ISO from a CD or a folder. I like this software a lot.
