    Microsoft FAILS

    Alright so I went online to download Microsoft Virtual Machine and Windows XP mode for my laptop. Look at this, I laughed pretty hard.

    just trying to install linux on a virtual machine, thought I would try out Windows VM to use it (not going to actually, I'm gonna use VirtualBox now). I have Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop, and selected it and Microsoft said I must have Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to use the VM and XP mode. I was like "really now..." and just had a hunch I could run it on Home. Turns out I was right, since in the installations notes it clearly says I can use Basic and Premium and it works. lmao

    I gave up with microsoft virtuallization a long time ago, use VMware Workstation.

    Sometimes measuring the bottleneck can be interpreted in so many ways. The only Thing ATI can render better then Nvidia is BSoD.

    In the picture, it says: Download and install Updates
    BTW, XP compatibly works in home premium, but i dont think that microsoft virtual pc supports it.

    Re: Microsoft FAILS

    On MS's website, they say XP Mode is only for Professional and Ultimate versions.

    So all that is, is a typo in the installation notes.
