Also, MS some time ago purchased Virtual PC from Connectix, and is aiming the technology at this kind of need. The user can use an older version of Windows in emulation on top of a newer version to run legacy software, and to ease the system upgrade process.

I don't know if people have found this as a problem, but, if you have to run multiple versions of Finale on the same system, you may have had problems when you upgraded your OS.

I know some people are running old versions of Finale because of old file formats.

There is a really cool program out, VMWARE.

You can install multiple OS version into separate folders.

Then you can run them, as many as you want, at the same time.

Say, Finale 2.0 doesn't run very well on Win2000.

You can install Win95 in a separate folder and run it independently in a new window from the current OS.

You can also run Linux (shudder) although I can't think of any good reason to.
