Virtual PC/Server

[Steve Thompson]

I have two questions. The first of which is: can you install server
products in Virtual PC's? I know you can in VMWare. The second
question is: Have they announced pricing for Virtual Server?

Thanks,
Steve

1) Yes Virtual PC 2004 will allow you to install a Server. (Windows NT
Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003)

2) It is be about $129.99 which is a large drop from Connectix price of
$229.

Virtual PC 2004 - allows you to create Virtual Machines (VMs).
You may install any operating system that can support the emulated hardware
that the Virtual Machine presents and that you have a valid license for.
We (Microsoft) only provide Support for Virtual PC 2004 issues that arise
with a certain set of operating systems (basically our own) - but if your
opertaing support the VM hardware then there is nothing stopping you
installing it.
