	Microsoft Virtual PC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Virtual PC emulates a standard PC and its associated hardware.
		Main improvements over Virtual PC 2004 is support for hardware virtualization and Windows Vista is now offically supported as both a host and guest operating system (although Vista guests cannot make use of Aero Glass due to the limitations of the emulated video hardware).
		Virtual PC 2007 hosts can also run on 64-bit versions of Windows although 64-bit virtual machines are yet to be supported.

	Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Virtual PC 2004 Review
		Virtual PC is a software solution that provides a virtual machine environment in which other operating systems, with their own applications and services, can run as separate entities from the host (hardware-based) environment.
		Virtual PC 2004 tries to be intelligent about the selection here--if you choose a name like "Windows Me" for your virtual machine, it will select "Windows Millennium Edition" by default--but it's here that we also notice some key options from the past are missing.
		The settings for an individual virtual machine (Figure) include such things as the RAM (which you can change later), the attached virtual hard disk(s), and whether sound is enabled, among many others.

	IT-Enquirer - Virtual PC 7
		Microsoft Virtual PC 7 is the latest version of this emulation program, and the first to be released by Microsoft.
		Virtual PC 7 is compatible with a lot more than Windows 2000 or XP; it even goes back all the way up to Windows 95.
		In earlier versions of Virtual PC, I found the network capabilities often to be broken and the capacity to connect devices like a Keyspan USB to serial converter badly implemented.

	Virtual PC Guy's WebLog
		As this is a result of hardware limitations the Virtual PC team decided to not enable networking on wireless network adapters in Virtual PC 2007, by default.
		If you're using Virtual PC 2007 on Windows Vista -- you may see an error from Virtual PC that states that it cannot launch your virtual machine because the files are marked read-only (but you know the files are not marked read-only).
		Now that the beta of Virtual PC 2007 is available for general use, and is able to run on Windows Vista, without disabling Aero glass, there are a number of cool things you can do.

	PC AI - Virtual Reality
		An advantage of Virtual reality technology is its use on tasks that are difficult to implement in other ways.
		Virtual reality started to gain wide public exposure, in the mid 80's, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) began to use it.
		Virtual reality also requires the development of new technologies such as displays that update in real-time with head motion; advances in sensory feedback such as force, touch, texture, temperature, and smell; and intelligent models of environments.

		NetBSD and Virtual PC [September 2002, New Stuff: the page rewrite didn't happen and no spare time is likely to be available for it any time soon.
		Virtual PC is a commercial PC-harware emulator running on PowerPC CPUs under MacOS.
		Because Virtual PC caches a lot of 386 code routines, subsequent calls to the library routine often result in the CALL binder operation being re-executed, but without the right index value.

	Virtual PC
		Virtual PC is aimed mostly at departments, organisations, and enterprises that find it necessary to run applications in several different operating systems simultaneously.
		Virtual PC is also ideal for developers, as it’s a safe (and inexpensive) way of testing and debugging software on a variety of different platforms.
		Importantly, Virtual PC automatically detects all of the settings of the host system, thus saving you from having to manually configure network and printer settings on the guest PC.

		Microsoft 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.
		Virtual PC is great though; lets you run those previous versions of Windows plus Linux, DOS, OS/2, BeOS, even CP/M. Just about any x86 OS will work with it.
		Virtual PC doesn't support things like USB and it emulates most hardware including sound and video.

	Applelinks.com: Review - Virtual PC 5 with Windows 98
		Without dual processors, however, I found that Virtual PC 5 suffered a bit of a slow-down in OS X. Mac OS 9 speeds are as good if not a little better than before, but scrolling through and resizing windows OS X seemed to drag a bit on slower systems.
		Virtual PC continues to be one of the most important applications available for the Macintosh, and v5 is one of the best updates yet.
		Virtual PC v5 is a gem of a program that should be seriously considered by Mac users who need to run PC apps and by PC users who need a better computer.

	Virtual PC version 5 Readme File
		Virtual PC is compatible with several distributions of Linux.
		Users of Virtual PC with Windows 2000 who wish to install their own licensed copy of a PC operating system that doesn't have a bootable CD-ROM will need to make a Disk Copy or Virtual PC floppy disk image of the boot floppy disk that came with the OS.
		If Virtual PC is running on multiple systems on a PC network, be sure to have a unique computer description and user name set in the Windows Network control panel to avoid a Windows networking error message #38.

		It's one thing to tell PC users that a Mac is better, but to show them that even a PC is better when it runs on a Mac really drives the point home.

	[No title]
		A recent film ignited a new generation of armchair epistemologists when it proposed that we could be living inside an elaborate computer simulation.
		Virtual machine software can fool an operating system into thinking it's running on its own hardware, when in reality it's simply mooching off unused CPU cycles and RAM.
		Since the OS is running on its native platform, no emulation is necessary; virtualization allows it to run with little cost to CPU performance.

	Applelinks.com: Review - Virtual PC 4
		When I reviewed Virtual PC 3.0 a year ago, I mentioned how it allowed us at Dynamics Online, Inc. to get our graphic designer a G4 so he could also use the few PC-only apps upon which we rely.
		Happily, Virtual PC 4 continues to improve itself not only by inching closer to the real thing, but by passing it in some ways.
		Virtual PC gets faster with each iteration, but version 4 gives us the most noticeable leap to date...for non-Yikes G4 owners, anyway.

		Althea wants to know what the difference is between Virtual PC and Virtual Server, and when she would use one versus the other.
		The fundamental difference between Virtual PC and Virtual Server is that Virtual PC is designed for desktop (or "client" or "PC") operating systems and Virtual Server is designed for server operating systems.
		For Virtual PC, both the host operating system (the one you install Virtual PC itself on) and the guest operating systems (the ones running inside virtual machines) will be desktop operating systems.

		The heart of Virtual PC is the Pentium recompiling emulator, a sophisticated piece of software written entirely in hand-coded PowerPC assembly language.
		Because Virtual PC is hosted on the Mac OS (which gives time to other Mac programs running concurrently, as well as Virtual PC), and it needs to emulate several dozen PC chips in parallel, precise timing isn't always possible.
		Virtual PC compensates by placing the highest priority on tasks that directly affect the user, such as sound and video.
