I wanted to poat about this program in case some of you have nto heard about it. What it does is allows you to have a Virtual PC running on top of your current OS. I just started playing with it a few weeks ago, and can not think of a better learning tool for finding the ins and outs of a OS. One of the great things about it is when you set up a Virtual PC all of that PC's files are stored in one folder!!! So if ya mess up that OS so bad that it won't boot its one Copy/Paste and 10min later your back to where ever you were when you made a backup copy of your Virtual PC files. You can also have several different OS's running at one time. I've had Fedora core (yes it will let you install a Linux OS), XP, Win 2k, and 98se with XP as my parent OS all in there own little windows. With the addons that you can get you can drag and drop files between the different OS's. So if ya have a old gamy that ya want to play, load up an old copy of Win 95 in a Virtual box and play away. I have also noticed that my win modem would work when I was running Linux. All I had to do was use it to connect to the Internet in the Parent OS, and my Virtual boxes conected to my Parent OS on a virtual network thus giving my virtual Linux box internet connection.
