Microsoft screws up yet another product. VirtualPC now sucks

[lopoetve]

I hope none of you have had the tragic fault of paying $130 for Microsoft's version of Virtual PC.

I used to love connectix VPC, it actually worked. No longer though, MS bought it and totally fucked it up. Forget ever playing older dos games on it, the SB16 drivers don't work any more, nor does high memory. Nor, for that matter, resolution switching, making all older windows games useless too (just black screens now).

Sigh. Bye bye old games, it was nice playing you when I could...

And no, Connectix' product doesn't work now either. PAE disables it (physical address extension).

Sigh.

Highly recommended. Dosbox rocks.

Oh, and MS buys a piece of software that emulates other OSes and runs it into the ground? This is a shock...how exactly?
