Re: suggestions for virtual windows



Virtual PC was originally by Connectix, but recently bought out by M$.
They haven't really had time to ruin that program yet. So its not too
bad. I didn't know there was any alternative to it. VPC is pretty
good, and very flexible. Gives you all of the features of a real PC,
like internet, access to devices like printers and CDs and flash
drives, and also allows you to install as many different operating
systems as you want for different versions of windows. But VPC isn't
that reliable. It takes maybe 2-3 hours to set up, and that has to be
re-done everytime you have to reinstall the operating system, or if you
don't use it for a long time, or if it just stops working one day. But
it could be a problem with my comp, or something I do wrong when I
install.
