I thought not. I would guess this: https://github.com/neri/vpc Given that we are specifically discussing VMs and emulators then using an ambiguous abbreviation would be foolhardy, so I presumed that VPC meant a separate one, so I Googled. > The one made by Microsoft? Two points of order: wrong name and wrong tense. VirtualPC was made by Connectix, and was acquired by Microsoft. Second, it's not made any longer. It was discontinued. Hyper-V uses VirtualPC-derived disk formats, device emulation and so on, but the core CPU emulation tech is no longer needed as all modern PC CPUs can do that in hardware. > I doubt, any version of VPC included FreeDOS, but feel free to prove me > wrong. :-) The final versions of VirtualPC shipped with IBM PC DOS. Specifically, PC DOS 2000, which means PC DOS 7.01 with Y2K fixes. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: [email protected] Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
