Virtual PC 2004 Assistance

[BobaFett2040]

I got a copy of Virtual PC 2004. I've installed Windows 2000, and Windows 98. No problem. Went through great. I try to install other Operating Systems, such as Linsipre, and it just hangs. Get to the loading screen and does nothing. With any Linux operating system is says the kernel crashed. Here's the thing. I am able to install it fine on my system outside of Virtual PC and Virtual PC is supposed to use generic hardware configurations as to facilitate any operating systems hardware reqirements. Is there a setting I'm not seeing? A tweak somewhere? Or is it just that Microsoft hates Linux so much that they'll fight tooth and nail to prevent it from getting on "thier" machine?

I think you have answered your own question [winkwink]

If you want a virtual pc solution that actually works then you should try WMWare, you can pretty much install anything in there (Not MAC OS)
