Problem solved. The easy backup / restore definitely is one of the advantages of a VM. Also, a VM could be used to get around software not running on new hardware. I really, really don't get folks that dual boot their computers. What a pain in the ass to go back and forth, not to mention a house of cards. I had a dual boot system once. It got where it wouldn't boot anything. I suspect it was a victim of corporate paranoia (some software overwriting the boot area of the disk with its "protection" (assume you're a thief) junk). -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should believeth all sorts of other ridiculous nonsense as well." |
