1.	Solve : What is the best Virtual PC program compatible with Vista??
Answer» I've never used one, so I'm open to some advices. Is Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 any good? Can I install any OS there? Tell me more, people.I love Microsoft's VPC software. Why? It's FREE. But beyond that it does EVERYTHING I need it to do, which is run legacy applications that Vista no LONGER supports. (Like a full-screen command prompt. 8/ ) Networking between the virtual machine and the host machine works like it would between two regular MACHINES, and you can map network drives just as you would a real machine. Thanks. I found first problem, though... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx Quote Virtual PC 2007 runs on: Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Tablet PC, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, and Windows Vista Ultimate. Home Premium, which I have, is not listed.Here...No, I'm looking for a program, which will set up virtual partition, so I can install couple of other OSes. I just installed VMware Workstation 6: http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/, but I'm getting some errors, while trying to install either Win 98, or Win 2K. I'll figure it out, when I have little bit more time. At least it's compatible with Vista Home Premium.Wow! This is fun... Once I fixed an initial error, it works like a dream. I just installed Windows 2000, and I'm going for Win XP, and Win 98. I'm gonna have all basic OSes on one machine.glad you got it working Broni.
