Virtual PC 2004 end user training

[Betty]

We're looking at distributing Virtual PC 2004 on W2Kpro
laptops to some of our traveling sales team to solve a
problem with legacy software.

These users are NOT very computer literate.

I haven't used Virtual PC 2004 yet and I was wondering
how hard is it to train someone to use once it's setup.

Does someone have an End User Training document for their
organization that they would like to share with the group?

Are there some Microsoft webpages that show how easy it
is to use?

Download the current version trial and look for yourself. Last time I =
did I found they were **** as they required a floppy (I don't have one). =
But that was years ago - but I don't forgive so I'll never use a =
program like this.

Virutal PC works just as a normal PC. If the user knows how to use Windows
they will know howto use Virtual PC.

This of coarse is AFTER a computer literate person
Installs the virtual OS for them. VPC 2004 is very easy
to use once you get the hang of it.
Good Luck,
Steve

Once the VPC 2004 Guest OS is set up, it is as easy to use as a regular PC
and requires very little training. Here are some links.
