Compatibility

Does anyone know if Virtual Server is compatible with Windows XP Home systems? Mga 23:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think its installer requires that it be installed on Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server only (no Pro or Home editions). -- Bovineone 21:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It can be installed on XP Pro, but Microsoft emphasizes that this is not recommended for production installs and should only be done for development or evaluation purposes. -- Bovineone 07:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison

How about Virtual PC? What are differences between Virtual PC and Virtual Server? What Virtual PC still charge money?

Virtual Server is multi-threaded, each VM runs on a thread where as Virtual PC is not. Virtual PC supports Shared Folders where as Virtual Server does not. Virtual PC is also free (for Windows).

Crippled Performance Citation

Looking for a citation on the assertation that Virtual Server cripples Linux installs. I had heard rumors, but nothing "authoritative" until I read this page. This very well could be true, but it could also be that it's poorly written and does a lousy job virtualizing Linux, OR it might just be a rumor... Can anybody find a good citation for this?
