NO...not yours! Someone just asked for details on how to setup a virtual
machine. THAT is Windows stuff. I just wanted the person who asked to know
that they'd need another group to get the fine details of that type of
setup.

Thank you everyone for your responses.
I will look at the Virtual options.

I do apologise Dian, if the responses eventually fell out of the direct MSO
group criteria.

>How do i do a virtual machine?

That Q now falls outside the realm of this group...it's a Windows question.
