Hi Dallas,
Thanks. I stand corrected about it coming preinstalled with
Pro/Ultimate, but like we've both said the option is available for
those who need it. Although, I've heard unless you have a pretty
high-end system the XP virtual machine runs slow. So unfortunately
that is a potential problem with running a vm like that.
Now, as for myself I have VMWare Player installed on my Toshiba laptop
with a Windows XP Home and a Ubuntu 11.0-4 Linux virtual machine
installed. So for me I can really get my cake and eat it too as I have
three operating systems I can switch between using VMWare. I have Win
7 as the host, Windows XP for older games and applications, and Ubuntu
Linux for Linux applications and development. Its the only way to go
when running a PC where you need more than the host operating system
has to offer. One thing is for sure it makes this whole argument about
backwards compatibility a pretty mute point.
Cheers!
