Sure, Linux might be able to run on Virtual PC 2004 and beyond, but it
is still not an officially supported OS. Since it is outside of
Microsoft's purview, there will be no official customer support for
emulation issues and I would expect that the in-house testing against
Linux to be non-existant or minimal at best.
Perhaps I am far out of the loop, but is there any real advantage to
running Linux in Virtual PC? It seems like the target platforms (Windows
and Mac OS X correct?) already can either run or use much of the same
software (OS X can usually run it native and Win32/cygwin ports are
pluntiful). It seems like anyone that is doing more than running an
occasional application or two inside of Virtual PC would be much better
off simply getting a second system & KVM switch.
Just curious more than anything. :-)
