If you came into this topic expecting discussion about Anal Fissures then you're going to be quite upset. It's actually a quick question.
Anybody know if Virtual PC 2004 is worth giving a whirl? I want to have a play with Vista but I can't be arsed to partition my drive and thought that a Virtual Machine would probably be the best route. Any other suggestions?

depending on your setup, i wouldnt reccomend it, i hear vpc eats up cpu cycles like those hippos in that game where they were all really hungry.
then again, ive only had my mac for a shade over a month, so who am i to talk? i do have winxppro boot camped and running like butter tho.

Sorry Dave.
Thanks for the tip hedphukker. You mentioing Macs has reminded me of Parallels. I believe they have a PC client. I'll go investigate that too.

never had any problems with setting up a virual machine in VPC, apart from the emulation being painfully slow on the mac, but that shouldnt be any problems on your pc
just do it!
