  Microsoft Moves Virtual PC from Linux
Time: 09:03 EST/14:03 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Robert Stein

Microsoft confirmed to eWEEK.com that an upgrade to Virtual PC—software it purchased from Connectix Corp. in February that lets enables users to run multiple PC-based operating systems simultaneously on one workstation—is close to being released to manufacturing. However, the new version will no longer offer official support for BSD Unix, Linux, NetWare or Solaris on Intel. Carla Huffman, a product manager in the Windows Client Division, explained, "Customers will be able to run most variants of Linux, as well as NetWare and BSD, as guest OSes on Microsoft's version of Virtual PC. However, Virtual PC is optimized for Windows around key customer scenarios."
