I have loaded FD under VMWare several times with out problem. I used the free vmware server that you can download. ( used to be called GSX with it was still payware ). I havent tried VPC as of yet since we use ESX server at work it makes the most sence for me to stick with VMWare. Qemu is also free, and is open source. Framework was great, you know its still being sold and developed right? Id love a copy of the current version, but its not worth spending the $ at this stage of the game for the use id have. As a side note, at one point i think i had Framework running on XP. I dont remember if i did anything special to get it to work but i dont think so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
