Content Type: text/plain

I, too, would be curious if anyone has has any experience
with this ....

[So often with free software (or anything), you get what you pay for.]

I'd expect, that virtual _anything_ would be hardware intensive.
Maybe I should wait for my Athlon 64 (it's coming, but then so it Christmas).

Keep us posted. From the overview at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/evaluation/overview2004.mspx

Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows
desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical
computer. Use virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS ,
Windows, and OS/2. You can run multiple operating systems at once on a
single physical computer and switch between them as easily as switching
applications-instantly, with a mouse click.
