[Garbage]

looks suspicious !!

Plz check b4 download !!

^^^ ohh SORRY !!

look at this ..

Requirements:

· A virtualization product that supports the VHD format is required to use this virtual machine. Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server are provided for free and can be used with these VHD based virtual machines.

So, it's a "virtual machine".

But still is it legal ???

VHD or rather its a Installed Copy of Windows Vista in Microsoft Virtual PC format

and yes it is downloadble, how ever it will work only for 30days

There are many OS in this downloadble format, Check here,

Run IT on a Virtual Hard Disk

and about Size, as it varis depending of choise of ur download... !! with Vista here are the details, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Download Size, 158.8 MB - 1558.8 MB*

Originally Posted by System Requirement

In addition to the System Requirements for the virtualization product, you will need additional disk and memory resources for running the virtual machine. This VHD is pre-configured to use approximately 10GB of hard disk space and approximately 1024MB of memory.

Virtual PC. Its a software virtualization solution by Microsoft.Its free to use. Basically you can install OS on a OS through it. But so far I have not succeeded in installing linux on it.

@enticer86

What are u talking about ??

in earlier days when there were no Boardband, many of us here, used to download GBs of Data using CDMA connection !!! if thats possible, then whats wrong with AirTel ?? i hear AirTel speeds are not so bad !!! and if u are in a narrow Band connection of AirTel, chanses are u r on Unlimited, so, just put them on any Download Manager and come back after whole day

@iMav

My system to meet the requirement but still, Virtual PC was unable to show the FOnts properlly at Start up of the FC 6 so i couldnt proceed !!!

yeah i will prefer my own copy of vista,i think this virtual thing is not my cup of tea...

@mkmkmk

VPC is very very good for Testing purpose... it wont heart if u do some thing worng in VPC as with Physical installation if u go heywire u would b in trouble...

That's why i said, use VPC but rather than downloading already installed copy of a OS, Run VPC in ur Windows, then install the OS by ur self in VPC, as in that way u would get many advantage over that 30 day limited copy !!!
