Especially for games can be an existing system in the host Voodoo graphics card directly address which, although greatly accelerated graphics performance, but only in full screen mode is possible. Up to version 2. Connectix led the sales of this version therefore also after the release of Virtual PC 4. The further development was discontinued after the completion of the transition from PowerPC to Intel processors by Apple in The last update was 7.
The mainstream support ended on April 13, Windows Virtual PC has been replaced in Windows 8 through its successor Hyper- V; it is no longer capable of running as host on Windows versions newer than Windows 7. The version SP1 5. The Update SP1 6. Windows Vista Ultimate and Enterprise should be delivered " including Microsoft Virtual PC Express ," a Virtual PC full version, and in particular of the license, the operating system itself a second time Enterprise: up to four times to install in the virtual machine.
These additional licenses were granted, Virtual PC Express but not provided, as it was to download the Virtual PC full version for free anyway at Microsoft. On 18 March the update KB was released by Microsoft, after it is installed Windows Virtual PC can run without hardware virtualization features. For Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise, Microsoft provides free of charge a specially adapted and activated bit version of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 is equal to: the " XP Mode " the user interface of the host system is fully integrated into Windows 7 integrated.
The separately installable program RemoteApp for the current in the guest system Windows XP ensures easy integration of Windows XP programs in the interface of Windows 7. Since it is however not authorized to use, the Windows XP Professional must be activated with a valid product key. The successor product is Hyper-V. The updated version 4. Following the acquisition of Connectix by Microsoft the 2 version was not developed further. In Windows Virtual PC can only 16 - and 32 -bit operating systems are running.
Emulator As a full emulator only the version for Macintosh is created. Virtual machine With the emulator as a starting point and a designed as virtualization version of Virtual PC was written, which was intended only for the Windows platform. Benefit For the development of Virtual PC provides a flexible and recoverable environment for tests under different operating systems and configurations.
Linux as a guest system Although Linux is not officially supported as a guest system, many Linux distributions can still install without major problems.

The problem is that it is a bad interface and it is extra work for the user, especially if you have to deal with lots of floppy disks or CDs.
So, I do expect a certain performance level to be delivered. So as long it gives you back the debug information you need, Bochs is as good as it can be. The real battle on performance for modern and widely used operating systems is between VirtualPC and VMware Workstation.
On my tests, VMware Workstation won every test, except the text mode rendering speed and the installation speed on RH 7. For example, it took 3. VirtualPC was very smooth in this regard when it comes to text mode rendering. The roles were completely reversed when I launched the now installed Red Hat and later when launched X It takes seconds! For example, I had to wait seconds to launch Konqueror, seconds to view a menu and was getting a frozen cursor when something was really CPU intensive.
I got a dual , and it is just not tolerable. The only problem I had with VMware Workstation in graphics mode was that sometimes the mouse cursor disappeared. It did not happen because of a certain CPU load, it was pretty random, therefore I think that I hit a bug and not just a known limitation.
Emulating a sound card is tricky business anyway because of the timing issues involved. As for Bochs, crashes are a daily treat either due to an error in Bochs itself or a misconfiguration on my part. But when doing low level system software development like say, writing an OS or maybe a compiler , Bochs is what you need. You need to know the exact timings or state of the emulated hardware after you executed your source code via Bochs, not the passed-through result of your real hardware.
The problem is, Bochs is still very buggy and slow, and Pentium support is problematic. The Macintosh version is not too bad at all, in fact it is acceptable on newer G4 machines. But the PC version needs lots of optimization. If I had to pick a winner, it would definitely be VMware Workstation. This would enable VMware to boot successfully a lot of other niche OSes.
But even as it stands today, VMware Workstation is the best option for most users and professionals out there. Overall Ratings VMware Workstation : 8. I wish it were! Too bad. I was more lucky by booting it directly from my real hard drive, from its BFS partition. But it is extremely slow for the reasons explained in the article and in the comments here:. Very nice review! I like it alot. Have you every thought of submitting you articles to newspapers or magazines?
I know my local news paper, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, along with many others could use some good technology articles. And that consists of one page of articles every wensday. Just a little note from my experience running VMWare Workstation 3. Watching streaming video on windows media player running in vmware nets extremely acceptable performance on my athlon
