I prefer the route of booting between 2 o/s's. virtual pc would be too much of a system hog to get decent performace out of the second o/s.
using 2 os's allows me to open suspicius mail in linux where the chances of me catching a virus a very small.
you can also run games in 98 or 95 that you can't run in xp (even in compatibility mode)
yep, those are some others.
I use virtual pc because i have I have a 2.0ghz computer with 384mb of ram and it can handle 2 or 3 running at once fine.
I use a windows 2000 partition and have Virtual pc with Windows ME(fat32 to support games), RedHat8, SuSe, and another copy of 2000 (lol, it supports alot of stuff ME doesnt plus it runs better than xp virtually)
I did try out Longhorn on it also... and i basicly took a look at the new stuff.. Alphas really have problems.
