It won't run on that hardware currently and Microsoft hasn't published a date when they'll update the product. If you need an XP PC and have an Intel Macintosh, purchase Parallels instead.

It's just that I noticed him pushing Parallels in another thread, not just this one. And this ng should not be used to promote a competitor's product, IMHO. >>>>>>I have Just found out about Microsoft virtual PC for mac, And i >>>>>>downloaded the version 7, its then said i could not install it, and [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > thread, not just this one.

I do not work for Microsoft. Perhaps you should redirect your anger and comments their way. My comments are simple and I will expound on them: Microsoft provides this newsgroup so that people who are using VPC can network and help each other. It is not intended as a billboard for competitor products. The fact that you are using Parallels and that you are happy with that product is great......for you. Maybe you should start your own newsgroup so that you can laud Parallels.....whatever. My concern is THIS newsgroup ..... and the fact that Microsoft can 'pull the plug' if too many people peddle the virtues of competitor products. I know that I would certainly consider it. > I am calm. It's just that I noticed him pushing Parallels in another > thread, not just this one. And this ng should not be used to promote a > competitor's product, IMHO. There's nothing wrong with telling people about Parallels. Besides which, PowerPC Mac owners can't run Parallels and Intel Mac owners can't run Virtual PC, so there is no "competitor's product". It's a very simple equation: PowerPC Mac = Virtual PC Intel Mac = Parallels Desktop or Boot Camp or WINE or ... Helpful Harry Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o) I just purchased a MAC so I am totally out of my element Let me apologize right up front if someone has asked this question but.....I downloaded Bootcamp but it indicates I need XP and SP2 on one disk.

You need XP with SP2 integrated into it. If you have a pc available you can make a "slipstreamed XP SP2" cd. You cannot apply SP2 to your XP following installation under bootcamp. Download AutoStreamer from: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=40bd2db5bd946fec6d29e120d250b247&showtop ic=223562 and use the Network version of SP2 for the slipstreaming: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245 -9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en Do not use the single-user version for slipstreaming. For convenience use your desktop for the work area. Burn the resulting .iso file to cd using "burn image to disc." It will already be a bootable image. >I just purchased a MAC so I am totally out of my element Let me apologize > right up front if someone has asked this question but.....I downloaded [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> Helpful Harry >> Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o) Thank you, I will give it a try.

The updates on Microsoft's website are updates, not the full version. SignatureCheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. |
