When Vista Beta 2 does release;can you use it by running VPC2004 with a HD
that has 40Gb total? The current o.s. is XP Pro?
 
Thanks Andre,
Downloaded VM Ware Workstation 5.5-just waiting now. Oh, VM
workstation wants a cd for the o.s.;do you think MS will provide that in
Beta 2?;or let me know how to set it up when Beta 2 is available.Thanks,

Jeff
 
Andre,
Pardon the last part of the above post-Duh? You have to have some sort
of media to install an o.s. I'm tired,it's late
Jeff
 
!Virtual Server 2005 R2 - all the way baby! You can have everything running,
even Glass! :o)

LOL - Vista installes on Virtual Server 2005 R2 about the same sorta time -
just less than an hour I do believe.
Need a lot of RAM for the host operating system though - 1.5GB or more
recommended.

Anyway, I use VM's for legacy applications.

What if you're running it on a full server in a full cabinet? That'd make
more sense then.

A terminal services client would be much cheaper Zack, all I would need to
assign to a Terminal client is 256 MBs of RAM.
