So… I felt like having some fun! I downloaded VMWare and got a windows 2000 pro disk i made a new virtual PC and it installed: Pic: [http://www.chrisphp.com/kirupastuff/vmware/image1200setup.jpg](http://www.chrisphp.com/kirupastuff/vmware/image1200setup.jpg) it installed fine no errors or bugs or even any warnings! it finished setup… quicker than formating a new hdd! 🙂 here is is! Win 2k in its boot-up Pic: [http://www.chrisphp.com/kirupastuff/vmware/image1200boot.jpg](http://www.chrisphp.com/kirupastuff/vmware/image1200boot.jpg) I will post how win 2k3 goes! ---

vmware is wicked, i use it at work, specially when i am trying to learn stuff. It is easy to use, quick, efficient. however I have not had any luck with vista on it, it just gets stuck, everytime on the setup, however Virtual PC works fine with it. Thats my only gripe. Lovely piece of software, I have 2000, XP, and 2003 installed on it. 🙂 ---

I was merely inquiring as to the purpose of you posting such a message directed towards the afforementioned member, when in fact I do not see anything worth such scrutiny in the message that he himself posted on in this particular thread, let alone grounds for a temporary or permanent ban from accessing the forums. :lol: ---

Did my post get deleted? If so, I would like to let it be known that Windows _can_ be run in XEN. 😉
