[X4U] Which version of Windows with VPC?

[Ryan Duff]

I would recommend 2000 over 98. As far as installing Mike, I know the
virtual pc 2004 for windoze allows you to capture an image instead of
putting in a cd. You might be able to "capture" the .dmg (you may need to
convert to an .iso) and then boot the machine you created.

I have heard 2000 and 98 are best, but I can't confirm. I have 98 on mine
(DP G5 3G ram) and its Ok. I have an install disc .img for 2000, but can't
figure out how to get it installed on VPC.
