Way behind the curve

I know I’m way behind the curve with this, but… I downloaded Virtual PC from the MDSN subscriber downloads at the weekend. It rocks. I needed to try something out on a Windows 98 box and I didn’t fancy repaving one of my machines so I went virtual. What’s cool is that once you’ve booted the virgin virtual PC and installed your OS of choice you can just copy the drive somewhere and use it again and again. So I installed and tested what I needed and I still have a clean Windows 98 box in a box. I installed Win2k AS ‘just because’ and that worked fine too. I’m currently restoring a Ghost image of one of my first dev boxes. A 386 Win 3.1 box, should be amusing… I guess that means I can finally ditch the NT 4 server box that’s been sitting in the corner of the office for a year just in case a client needs me to make changes to one of the apps I wrote for him…

Now, what would be really nice is for MSDN to have preinstalled Virtual PC drive images available for all of the OS’s that I have access to as a subscriber…
