vrooom305 01-07-2007, 09:01 PM so I've been thinking about putting this on my home PC just because it seems cool to have multiple Windows OS running on one machine. however besides the "cool" aspect of this, would anyone of you guys like to share you stories of using Virtual PC? (Animal?) Zero 01-07-2007, 09:30 PM Fool. Animal 01-07-2007, 09:32 PM Worked great. Much like having a 2nd machine. What's really nice.... is when the guest OS crashes (that *never* happens with windows :nono: ) it doesn't take down the whole machine. Reboot the VM and it's all good. Backups are easy. Host OS integration has come a long way since the old VPCs... I had drag/drop support between the windows environment and MacOS on my old iBook, that's one thing Parallels doesn't support (yet). CompuBob 03-08-2007, 03:13 PM I use it for testing out other operating systems before I install them.. That, and I'm just a OS Whore. I like to try out everything. currently in Virtual PC I have Windows 98, BeOS 5, Ubuntu Linux and Solaris 10.
