Yeah i was running Vista alongside Xp pro on my friends mahine today with it.:)
 
Yea they modded it somehow and made it better. Dont really know but it looks cool :D. Im considering it for my computer.
 
Yea its cool to see new os' and software that u dont wanna install on ur windows. Anybody know what to do about the internet?
 
That doesnt work. It says network cable is unplugged. The same ethernet card is used to connect to the internet on my os but on the virtual machine it doesnt work :( Im gonna keep trying other options.
 
Bah, VMware is still WAAY faster, more advanced, and is definitely worth the $99. Since it's free, I'm still grabbing it.

Yeah i have to agree there,VmWare is much better.

This raises the question...Why have they made it free?

Looks like they wasnt selling as manya s they wanted because people are choosing Vmware over Vp.

VPC only supports Windows, which really isn't what virtualization is for, it's for assistance in true cross platform development. Not to mention it's slower, by far, and this has been made public. They actually bought this from Connectix a few years back, and just redid the names, none of the actual virtualization code was actually redone.
