Yes, if the VPC is full screen, right-alt to get out, if it's windowed you can press right-alt or move the cursor outside of the window. VPC includes extensions for Windows to make moving between host and guest more seemless - similar to RDP/Terminal Services/Citrix if you've ever used any of those services. > > > Is it easy to install a new O.S. to the mix? No more difficult then installing a new OS on a physical computer. You just need the space on your machine to host the OS -- the entire OS goes into files on the hard drive. > > > Can you do an image of an O.S. install then restore it? VPC has "snapshot" features, which means you can get the image into a particular state, take the snapshot, do whatever you want (including a format..) then revert to the snapshot. > > > Can one del an O.S. when one doesn't want it any longer? As easy as deleting files. The entire VPC is in a set of VHD files for the virtual hard drive and a VMC file that contains the settings of the VPC. > > > Thanks > > > -- Jamie Furtner [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The difference between intelligence and stupidity is that intelligence has its limits." --unknown
