Virtual PC 2007
-
For those of you who don't know Virtual PC 2007 Beta will be available on October 11. I am real excited, I love virtual machines and I want to be the first to download the beta of VPC2007. Do any of you know when the final release will be expected?

VPC was always slower(heh...and M$ product runnign on an M$ OS, and slower than 3rd party products that do the same thing and more...anyways...) and probably will always be slower. so meh.

I have used both at different times I never noticed if VMware was faster or not. I will say VPC doesn't run as many OS's but I really don't care that much about that and now it is free *shrug*
um...im not gona say how much i pay for software.

On the contrary, there is always emulation. However... Virtualization is much faster and efficient than emulation.

That is the whole point if Virtual PC. I think what the white paper was trying to say is that you can run 16-bit apps in Virtual PC (with an OS that supports 16-bit installed in a VM). That is your only option if you want to run 16-bit apps in Windows Vista 64

Virtual PC 2007 is suppose to be much faster and it supports Vista with Aero Glass turned on.

Ok. I don't know you would need glass in a VM. Can it run an OS not from MS? I like the current VPC fine but it's lack of support for anything not made by MS drove me to buy VMWare.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Just to show you how much the performance has improved and its support for DirectX 9.0

Sure it can. Why do you need Microsoft to support you in installing Linux? Virtual PC 2004 says it does not support Windows XP Home Edition yet it works fine on it.

Yeah I figured they might have upgraded the virtual hardware that it supported. Anyone know if they upgrade the virtual/emulated soundcard? The key to getting other OS's to operate in VPC is understanding what chipsets are being emulated and hoping that OS supports them...

Can't wait. I've always had a penchant for things that are slower and more complicated than they could be. Hopefully processor speed will be at 16ghz by the end of the year. Then Windows might run as fast as CPM did on my 1979 Northstar.;)
