FYI guys...
Microsoft has made Virtual PC 2004 (SP1) freely available to download from its website.
Not sure about its Linux etc support though!

Linky


NB Thanks to The Inquirer for the link.

Nice one mate.

If this is now free as well as the server version, it makes me wonder what they're going to put into the action packs to make up for this.

 

Thanks Gaz, that is worth knowing!

 

Here is a great page that shows all the OS's that have been *tested* on Microsoft Virtual PC 2004.

 

Yee gods, I have never seen a list of OS's as comprehensive as that before - yikes

Warty warthog seems to be conspicuous by it's absence

 

No VMS either but wouldn't work anyway (except FreeVMS but it's not been officially released). Anyway, the one that caught my eye was "Windows Longhorn Server Beta 2 Build 5384". Didn't know there'd been a beta for Longhorn Server released. Was it any good?

 

Um......Linux?

 

Umm, it's in the list Blue

"Ubuntu 4.1 Live Yes
Ubuntu 4.10 Yes"

Hoary & Dapper are in there too - suprised me!

Great link BTW Zimbo

 

LOL - well spotted Gaz, I just wanted an excuse to mention the name. I think it's an excellent name and reflects the product ,much like the name Vista does

 

Downloaded it, will try it out when I get hold of another couple of boxes.

 

can i ask something... if all you guys have been interested in installing linux and V PC 2004 doesnt support it ever considered the switch to VMWare? I have run debian, RHEL, Fedora and Ubuntu all in VMWare with no problems at all!

 

All I use is VMware.

 

With V PC i runs Ubuntu and Fedora with no probs aswell - i have not tried the other two...

 

i never tried V PC so cant comment... its just from reading here people say they have *trouble* with linux...

 

it does support other os's other than MS but not *officially*
