Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Virtual PC 2007 and Windows vista home premium? WONT RUN????
WHY did MS. make virtual 2007, and not make it compatible with their most widely distributed version fo VISTA????????????????? I dont understand why they would do that?? I am trying to run Virtual PC 2007 on my HP laptop that came with Vista HOME PREMIUM. I am an IT student and I need to write scripts in UNIX and LINUX, and I am sick of booting back and forth between windows and Ubuntu, and Knoppix linux. SO A friend told me about Virtual PC 2007, well good luck, I cant use the god damn thing????? MS, why do you people do retarded stuff like this?????? Grambo112233@hotmail.com It should work. It has for other people. Have you tried Virtual Box? Ramone > WHY did MS. make virtual 2007, and not make it compatible with their most > widely distributed version fo VISTA????????????????? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Grambo112233@hotmail.com Calm down. It works fine. Just ignore the "...not supported..." message and click through it. Then VPC2007 will install in Vista and let you run other OSs as virtual machines. Note that VPC2007 only "officially" supports other Microsoft OSs. However, I've had various Linux distros running on it, along with DOS and FreeDOS. If you want one that officially supports Linux virtual machines, try www.virtualbox.org. It's great. SteveT |
