If you have Boot Camp, why would you want Virtual PC?

Please explain what the difference between host and guest means. If I have Vista Home, can I run XP Home on the same machine?

I am just happy not to get any blue screens with my XP. Keeping one system running is more then enough for me :)

The question is: Who'd want it?
There are many better alternatives than allowing anything related to Microsoft be installed on your computer. That's like holding a match over a gallon of gasoline.

That old Greedy Company is giving away FREE software again!Yup. Microsoft can afford to eat the loss for as long as it takes to drive VMware into the ground.
Speaking of which, does anyone know how the MS offering compares to VMware. I know their last version was crap compared to either VMWare, xen, or just about anyone else.

How odd that this seems to happen when another company has created a paid niche. What a coincidence.

Well they have to crush VMWare somehow, lord knows it wont be on technical merits so they might as well leverage their OS dominance to do it..

I'm thinking VMWare has just about sewed up the current round of this particular market. First time I ran Vista was on VMWare, in fact. I'd love a freebie Virtual Server, though.
To: Echo Talon
Oh cool, time to download it! The only downside I can see is that it appears they've left multi-processor support only for virtual server. I wonder if it at least uses multiple cores. Aside from the obvious speed-up, that would be helpful for testing multi-core and multi-processor aware applications in a VM. Still, can't complain about that limitation in a free product.
OTOH, damn Microsoft for having the documentation in XPS format only instead of PDF. They hate using worldwide-accepted standards.

What good is it if it only allows you to switch between Micro$oft operating systems?
Make it so I can run XP and Apple and Linux, then we can talk.
