Microsoft Virtual PC now FREE!

[IndianScout]

Microsoft has decided to release its latest version of Virtual PC 2004 SP1 for free at its downloads site.

Virtual PC 2004 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is a powerful software virtualization solution that allows you to run multiple PC-based operating systems simultaneously on one workstation, providing a safety net to maintain compatibility with legacy applications while you migrate to a new operating system. It also saves reconfiguration time, so your support, development, and training staff can work more efficiently.

You could do that without Virtual PC.

This software is for running more than 1 OS at a time and will divide the RAM on the mobo between the OSs. The most common application is for Servers, for instance you can setup 2-4 internet game servers on the same box.

Screw this crap.

Vmware is much better and they released their server version for free.
