Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Removes Linux Support

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-adds-the-coveted-multiple-network-interfaces dept.

Psykechan writes "MSFN has got themselves a beta of the new MS Virtual PC 2004 which should be out at the end of this year. Most notable in their 'fixes' is the removal of Linux, BSD, Netware, and Solaris from the supported OS list. They may still work, they just aren't supported. We all thought that this would happen after MS bought Connectix but this just makes it official."

  1. downloaded it, linux support still in there. by acid_zebra · · Score: 5, Insightful

    calm down people!
    You can download the trial from microsoft, and it still has options for running all the fun stuff (AKA linux, solaris, BSD). So they pulled the support. Big deal! The whole net is our support!
    Look, any simulated X86 architecture that runs windows will by default run linux.
    It's what we've been doing all along, right?
