G, I had this response to my inquiry on the CAC Friends list: "For awhile I had Win7 RC and did use the Virtual Machine (XP) but I realized I couldn't print what I created. I was only able to install software not hardware on the Virtual Machine." Is this the way it works with a dual boot? Would the XP be a virtual machine and not be able to print what I created? If so I will not have that option to consider.
