Vista SP1 rejects dual-boot scenarios

July 30th, 2008 by crazyskills

Warning to those of you who are not using a BIOS-level boot-loader:  Vista will refuse to run on Ultimate and Enterprise versions if you have a dual boot scenario, to the point that SP1 will reject the user’s system and not even install.  Wise move, Micro$oft. . . .

Vistualization

July 30th, 2008 by crazyskills

Usually I would link the slashdot article and summarize myself, but this says it all:

goombah99 writes “After snapping up virtualization company InnoTek at the beginning of the year, Sun has recently released VirtualBox as a fully functional and highly polished free GPL open source x86 Virtual Macine. It can host 32- or 64-bit Linux, Windows XP Vista and 98, OpenSolaris and DOS. It runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix platforms. The download is just 27MB. A review of it on MacWorld, showing HD movies playing inside windows XP on a mac, demonstrates performance visually indistinguishable from VMware. Like its competition, it can run other OSes in rootless, rooted, or seemless modes display modes (where all the applications have their windows mixed at the same time). Each VM instance can only run single core (though I/O is multi-core), and it does not yet support advanced windows graphics libraries however, so some gamers may be disappointed. Slashdot discussed the InnoTek acquisition earlier.
