in message | Hi Glen,
|
| It would be nice if MS (or someone <g>) posted the step by step
instructions on how to setup a Virtual PC [including machine
| requirements], run the VPC it, then install the 2007 beta on it.
|
| Nice thing about the test drive is you can 'run it' on Windows versions
and on PCs that can't run 2007.

| Hi,
|
| Lot's of people now use Virtual PC for this. Keeps all the problems away
| from the real machine.
