Windows virtual PC fail

Post by Mats »

Forgive the rampant headline,

but i tried both MATE and KDE live editions under windows virtual PC, and both kills the VPC during INIT
Can't install another Virtual Machine software, since it is a work PC.

any suggestions, or should i give up ?

Any details about how you set up the Virtual PC or what point of INIT it dies at?

I have never used that virtual PC thing, but from what I have read it is generally hostile to linux. So that comes as no surprise.

Everything that I have read says the Windows Virtual PC only works with other Window versions as guests (i.e. Xp etc). See here:
Wikipedia wrote:Other operating systems such as Linux may run, but are not officially supported, and Microsoft does not provide the necessary "Virtual Machine Additions" (which include essential drivers) for Linux.[5].
