This is the result of MS buying Connectix's Virtual PC software - if you've used VPC then you've use this (sorta).
VPC is a very nice app... runs well and when locked to hard disk partition (as I'm assuming most VPS hosters are doing) runs pretty damn quick as well. In fact some synthetic benchmarks get confused and claim that the VPC runs faster than the host. ;^) Jim Davis > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, July 04, 2003 11:06 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: uisng Virtual Machine software for hosting (WAS CrystalTech > says ALL variables must be locked) > > Do you have a link for info about this VPS function of Win2K3?
