Portable Virtual Machine OS

Hi Folks, Trying to get a Windows VM together that will be used on multiple machines. I want to store it on an mobile HD and plug it into various Host systems. How can I do this without requiring reactivation every time (connectivity could be limited)? Is there a edition/version of XP designed for this? Thanks Davy

Free Backup Software - LDBackupI would have thought the VM's "hardware" is abstract enough that you wouldn't need to reactivate when moving the VHD around from PC to PC? :confused: Have you thought about trying Microsoft's Virtual Server instead? We have 2 VMs on the vertual server and anyone on the network can use Remote Desktop or Virtual Remote Client to access it.

Free Backup Software - LDBackupWhich VM(s) (ie qemu, xen, VMware, VirtualPC, etc) have you tried already? Another option for you, depending upon what you're trying to run, might be for you to 1) install Linux or BSD in your VM, and 2) install WINE in your VM. Assuming that your application(s) will run in WINE.
