Greetings! I just found that Microsoft released virtual PC 2007 and downloaded it. I have yet to install it as I will need to beef up one of my PCs. It will run on XP Pro, 2003 server, and of course Vista. I have one PC, an AMD 2.9 GHz machine, with 1.5 gig of RAM, which may not be quite adequate to run virtual PC 2007 with Vista as the guest operating system. So I guess I'll be beefing it up with another gig of RAM (the motherboard maxes at 3.0 gig). The objective will be to recompile some of my VFP 7.0 apps under VFP 9.0 (under XP Pro), then seeing how well they run in Vista.
Has anyone yet used virtual PC 2007 with Vista as the guest offering system? I have seen a few e-mails regarding VFP 9.0 running and compiled under the Vista operating system, but nothing has stood out with respect to any serious problems (other than Vista protection issues in general). Also, has anyone yet run and compiled Sedna beta apps under Vista? If so, are there any advantages to using Sedna (even if in beta) over using VFP 9.0? As a closing comment, I absolutely love the Mac guy versus PC guy commercials where a security agent has to clear all incoming and outgoing to vacations with the PC guy. Apple truly nailed it with that commercial. The unfortunate reality is that my target market will be in the Microsoft quagmire for many years, I see no escape into the Linux world despite any question regarding running compiled VFP apps under Linux.
