Bill,
This is not what I mean with DOS support, but it may enable running DOS programs, yes. Hyper-V is mostly for running modern virtualized servers, it is not for this kind of thing.Kari, supposing you could get XP up and running, as some have, under Hyper-V, wouldn't you then have DOS support? Only I have read that because there is no direct support for XP in Hyper-V, there will not be good video and networking support (i.e., integration).
That is the case. You can play around without additions, but working is not easy.Am I correct in my understanding that for a guest OS to work comfortably in a VM, there must be 'integration' support (i.e. drivers) that are designed to be installed for the guest?
I am glad you find it useful. This kind of setup is very robust, but I am still amazed how well VirtualPC 2007 runs real DOS, nothing beats it for running DOS programs. It better than having an old dedicated DOS Pentium around.FWIW, I continue to be delighted by VMware/Win8/W2K/Xy4. It has been several months of flawless performance.
