  Configuring Glass in a Virtual Machine
Time: 13:37 EST/18:37 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

Virtual PC and Virtual Server both emulate the same graphics adapter - an S3 Trio32/64 which is (if I'm not mistaken) 1996-era hardware. Back in good ol' 96, there wasn't a great deal of processing power built into graphics adapters; certainly not as much as there is now. As such, any card of that era - including the card that we emulate - will not be able to render any of the Glass effects. Also, there are no plans to modify Virtual PC or Virtual Server to emulate a different graphics adapter. In short, the S3 is where it's at, as long as "it" doesn't refer to anything graphically spectacular.
