ReactOS, Thankyou!
I have yet to get ReactOS to work on my Microsoft Virtual Machine so I can test it out. I'm getting the logo screen and then it just freezes but that's alright. I can wait until later this month when it will be fixed in the next version.
But I really would like to say thankyou for what you guys have done. I have always wanted to see a Windows clone that is free. I love windows but for real, who wants to pay $300 for a copy of the software.
I love that you guys are free, which is the main reason why I support you so much. If it was a paid it wouldn't change my mind anything about changing from windows to you guys. But it being free makes it even better, I hope it stays a free project and it lives long. I cannot wait to test it out myself. I have seen screenshots and it looks awesome.
I'll be excited to see how much it changes from now until the relase of verison 1.0.

Are any of those free?
Also I'm not going to replace windows with this since I'm using Windows now and it's working fine. Not that ReactOS is bad but it is still getting developed so it wouldn't be smart to ruin my windows by installing ReactOS when it is not stable yet.
Why I was trying to use VPC to see if it would work and how it looked and all.

VMWare player is free, and you can get a virtual machine for VMWare from the download site. Also, there is a preconfigured ReactOS image that is bundled with QEMU to allow you to quickly test ReactOS. QEMU is totally free. With VMWare player, you can only use prebuilt Virtual Machines. Forgot to say it, but, nice thinking about not ruining the Windows copy.
More ReactOS, please!

Both VM machines save your data back to the Virtual Disk. If you have the VMWare, there should be an option in the menu to use System CD-Rom. If you are using a preconfigured QEMU, you should start QEMU like this, after you are in the QEMU directory.: (no quotes)"QEMU -L . -m 64 -hda ReactOS.img -cdrom d: -net user" This assumes the ROS image is ReactOS.img, if you see a .img file that is not ReactOS.img, use that instead.
More ReactOS, please!
I personally will not touch MS Virtual PC 2004 with a 10 foot pole.
It has a critical flaw. If/When a OS inside it breaks out of the vm and crashes the complete computer. When you restart MS Virtual PC 2004 it automatically restarts all contained os that where running before crash including the one that crashed the computer.
Anyone still running MS Virtual PC 2004 is really taking a risk.

VMware player used to be the only free version but now VMware server is also free, and that will allow you to do what you like regarding making new virtual machines and modifying existing ones hardware.Reacter wrote:VMWare player is free, and you can get a virtual machine for VMWare from the download site.
