While ago, Robert McLaws posted interesting post entitled “Microsoft’s Virtualization Offerings Suck“. McLaws’s conclusion is the same thing I feel when I run VPC 2007. I expected that 2007 version of Virtual PC will come with some excellent functions and feature. And yes, I have seen Microsoft shown their awaking on virtualization technology.
Concerning on quality of software is matter and concerning on quality of developer is also matter. I did subscription to several Microsoft’s products to see the progress of my interested products. Virtual PC Guy’s Weblog is one of that, which rarely have news on the progress of their wok. Today I noticed new post “Fallout under Virtual PC“. I expecting something new but game–terrible!
A solely comment by Rafa® punched me to realize (sorry to quote full post):
Guy… I’m reader of your blog and user of Virtual PC, even knowing that VMWare is a better product (and too expensive too, since quality has it’s own price)… I’m getting really upset about your posts, you just talk about games…
I think that Microsoft doesn’t focus on the Virtual PC to make it’s a better product… It looks much the same as the old Conectix VPC, even the 2007 version that doesn’t changed too much…
And when I read the lots of posts that talk about “running games in VPC…”, I really think if you guys are taking serious the work for Virtual PC…
I take a look at tags cloud, the big bold letter summarize the story:
Microsoft Virtual PC made for game.
