Interesting thread to read so far. We have used VPC for years. Since Connectix was VPC. With that said though we have ALWAYS used it on our Macs in house to help with those "Win32 only" apps.
I have been considering the idea more and more of using it as a "testbed" so its interesting to see these comments. Thanks for the info. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 9:51 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Microsoft/Connectix Virtual PC - Anyone use it for testing? hmm.. i thought from what I read/understood that you could run several VPC sessions at once, say a DC and an Exchange box and have the two either communicate with each other or bridge (probably not the term) to the NIC in the workstation so they could talk to the LAN?

I use it here(MS virtual PC) it's very cool and perfect for testing, with the hardware that you have, you could run several VPC. I also use VMWare workstation it consumes less memory resource than MS. The only minus point with MS-VPC, you can't run segregate network. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Hutchings Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 11:35 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Microsoft/Connectix Virtual PC - Anyone use it for testing? Since I don't have the space or hardware for a test lab, but I do have a Dual Xeon 2.4, 1gb RAM workstation sat on my desk this kinda caught my eye! Does anyone here use it for testing/learning and if so what do you think? Any real plus points? Any real minus points? Any gotchas? We have a select agreement so I'll probably just buy a copy, but it'd be nice to get some other opinions..
