Wrong..... Virtual PC 2004 will run linux and other *nix based OSes just
fine MS just said that they would no long support them as a guest OS
unlike connectix. I run slackware and gentoo and fedora just fine in
virtual pc 2004 and actually it runs better than it did with connectix
owned it. at least in my real world benchmarks.
