RE: [H] Virtual PC, OS/2 Warp Question
As was mentioned elsewhere, so has Connectix (who MS bought out). But having played with both, I've had much better success with Virtual PC (post SP1) (Example of OS support: http://vpc.visualwin.com. Both products do a very good job of what they do. There are some things about each I prefer to the other. However, VPC is something more people on this list (as MAPS) members will have, and it's something that is a lot cheaper to go buy. -- FIGHT BACK AGAINST SPAM!
