Free Virtual PC

[StewartKnight]

Does anyone know a reliable Virtual PC program...... thats free?

[Geoff]

VMWare server works on a workstation aslong as you install IIS.

Also you could also try VMWare Player which doesn't require IIS.

[Dos_Box]

Microsoft Virtual Server is now free.

[NetworkGeezer]

Yeah, it's just if he wanted to run VMWare VM without the IIS overhead.

 

I suppose for completeness we should also mention QEMU and BOCHS as the free (air) and free (freedom) VMs.

But they are not quite as polished.

[Geoff]

QEMU is quite handy though. You can use it to produce VM's that will run on VMWare Player. Bit of a moot point now VMWare Server is free though.

[NetworkGeezer]

There's actually a VM called DOS Box on Shell Extension City.

It's very OS specific though
