Virtual PC is (last time I looked) a free download from M$ (x86 and x64). It works fine on my W7 Home Pro x64 laptop (with DOS 6.22 - Have'nt tried to install XP, but it's alleged to work). Interestingly, VPC refuses to install on my W8 tablet. I expect that's been deliberately disabled, in favor of selling it as part of an "Upgrade" to the W8 baseline package... Never a dull moment with the wily gentlemen of Redmond. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
