Has anyone on here used "Virtual PC" yet?   Its a tool that permits
having 3 or 4 completely different operating systems on one HD.
Like Win95, Winxp, Dos6.22 Win98 etc.  I have it installed, but
something got screwed up on it.   It worked fin initially and had
Winxp/pro, Win95, Dos622 all setup and working by menu choice.
My version is "virtual PC 2004".

I tried Virtual PC a few years ago and quickly decided it was far too involved and that its overhead weighted too much on performance. Using a program like System Commander (no interest here) has none of those drawbacks. Its only downside, depending on your use, is that it does not allow instant switching from one OS to an other since it requires rebooting.
