waiting for 64-bit Windows XP Pro.....any day now.


Wait, it's Microsoft.....Any year now..... :rofl:

I know, there's a PR out there, but I don't want to put that on my main machine, and VMWare won't load a 64-bit guest OS on a 32-bit host.

Anyone know if Virtual PC will? I have a legit copy downloaded from my school's MSDN subscription, but it won't install so I can't test it myself.

I see you forgot to add DOS to that list. I am truly ashamed, tekie.

DOS for me!

Don't want to reboot all the time just to play around and I used up all my spare parts putting together my Domain Controller.

And the fact that I don't have a "spare" A64 laying around :)

I saw an article in MaximumPC a few years ago of a guy who put something like 127 different OS's on his machine, just because he was told it was impossible to do.

actual OS's.....I wish I still had the article...it would have been back in 2001 or 2002 (that's when I had an active subscription). I'll see if I can find it.

Bump from 2004, lol.

Anyhoo, I was gonna ask something like this for my new build:
Windows 7 vs Windows 8.1?  I'm thinking 8.1 with metro disabled.
