Virtual PC 2007 Release Candidate
VMWare Workstation 6.0 beta released just before new year. Scott Woodgate of VPC Team just post the release of Release Candidate of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 version 6.0.142. It come with a requested new feature, PXE boot, and some issues that were submit on it’s connect site. These bug fix including installation of Windows Server 2003 as a host; Audio in Vista; DVD support for Vista installation; binding to wireless network cards. If you are beta tester you can get it on MS Connect or otherwise register for it.
From Woodgate, some of annoying issues seem to be fixed but what about sluggish performance? I will have a try and post the result some days later.
