tar.gz package only contains source code you have to enter the directory that contains the UNIX-like source, and do 'magic':

#WINDOWS 98 EMULATOR FOR LINUX INSTALL#

tar.gz available: the 'dynamic' one will make use of local libraries already installed on your machine (mainly Qt), the 'static' is a complete package that doesn't require any extra install (but is a much bigger download). If we take Skype's example, there are two. tar.gz packages: they can contain both binaries and source code thing is, in Linux, it's often more practical to ship source code and make the user compile it, but the user has to know which is what. You should also enable IO APIC emulation with it, and this may be unstable in WinXP.Ībout. The vbox 'CPU cores' options defines how many cores are emulated on the host as far as I know, vbox ain't multithreaded yet.

As far as I know, there is no passthrough option available for DirectX (thus Windows on Windows has no advantage over windows on Linux - it's even worse, due to Windows on Linux making use of Linux's much faster I/O capabilities - my test results, not mine). Note that currently, the OpenGL option is considered more stable than DirectX, because like Wine's WGL to XGL passthrough driver, there's (almost) no code translation required. Essentially, it creates an OpenGL context on the host OS (Linux or Windows), a virtual 3D device on the guest OS, provides a DirectX to OpenGL translator and a WGL to XGL passthrough (think Wine) - giving the guest OS accelerated OpenGL and DirectX capabilities. DirectX acceleration is available in VirtualBox (this is not the case with VirtualPC), but it is experimental. Linux has no EULA (only the GPL, which essentially says 'use at will') so you can use the former OEM OS (presumably Win XP - lower-end Vista have EULA limitations) in a VM, IF KEPT ON THAT 'REAL' MACHINE. Moreover, if you happen to install an 'update' version of Windows, you lose the right to install both the older and newer OS on the machine (check EULA) - so you'd need to spring for a 'full' version of either. Say, the one that came with the computer you converted to Linux.

the article does state that you need a valid XP install media - meaning, that you should have a Windows XP license with it.

The complete lack of design in 7 just can't be made up by eye candy alone substance is more then skin deep.

7 is also less customizable and for those who aren't politically ignorant can you spot the communist propaganda? Even the 7 ads are stuffed full of it. A critical aspect of design is consistency which was thrown out the door, where is the My Documents folder? Sure there is an equivelent but changing what it's call is like telling people to call their CPU's "fuzzles" without any justification.and just like Vista you STILL can not move the ENTIRE My Documents folder so if you're keen enough to NOT put your personal/work files on the same drive/partition as the OS you'll still have to deal with programs automatically generating folders on C:\ so you'll need to manually move each folder for EVERY program every time otherwise you're looking at losing 30-50 hours of saved game files PER game. The UI requires two to three more times the clicking (start menu-> programs requires two clicks versus XP's one in example). If they wanted 7 to succeed they should have added Aero and networking improvements to XP but instead they had to reinvent everything and they failed miserably at doing so. Unfortunately Windows 7 is nothing more then Vista glorified and I'm sticking with XP until I figure out which Linux distro to use. But fair enough, the price did drop somewhat. This is opposed to 100% more expensive (Vista Ultimate versus XP Pro). The highest edition of 7 (Ultimate) is fifty percent more expensive than the highest edition of XP (Pro). It has also come down on the price a little. Microsoft has taken the UAC down a notch. Because of a long beta and RC testing phase, 7 is not going to be as buggy as Vista was when it debuted. Windows 7 is going to launch when the company said it will launch.

Unfortunately, Windows 7 is also overpriced (slightly less so than Vista), and even more confusing.īut first, let's go over what Microsoft did right. Now, almost three years later, and almost five since Longhorn's initially-planned release, Microsoft is releasing the OS they should have launched several years ago.

It arrived late, buggy, irritating (UAC), overpriced, underwhelming, confusing (licensing), and in some cases, incompatible. What really happened was 'Longhorn' became Vista, and it didn't make it out the door until 2007. However, that's not how events played out.
