Windows Virtual PC trial, and install and run Ubuntu 9.04

I downloaded and installed Windows 7 RC (64-bit English version) a few days ago, and I have been very interested in Windows Virtual PC.

After Windows 7 is installed, install WVPC immediately and try the following:

  1. At first, the "create Virtual machine" button was not displayed in the Virtual Machines folder, and you also went to the management tool to find a tool similar to the Hyper-v manager.
  2. Run the Windows XP (Home Chinese Version) Virtual Machine Installed on Microsoft VPC 2007 (sp1. Everything works. However, even if the integrated components are installed, the clipboard and drive cannot be shared, but the mouse can be switched seamlessly. Try to install cn_rail_qfe_beta_for_windows_xp_sp3_x86_343753.exe on the Virtual Machine (I guess this is the reason why the integration function is invalid. It is estimated that the Home version is not supported. Another problem was found: When the mouse is not in the seamless switch mode, the mouse enters the VM and prompts to press Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow to release the mouse, but it does not work at all. I use the Windows key to return to the host.
  3. Download en_windows_xp_mode_beta_x64_349172.msi to install the so-called XP Mode. However, because the English version is installed, the Chinese version cannot be displayed normally. You have to install the Asian language support in it (you need to find an XP installation CD ). In this way, the integration function is normal, and the clipboard can be shared, or the Host drive can be accessed in the Virtual Machine (displayed as a network drive ). However, due to my English version, the shortcuts for applications in the integration mode are as follows:
  4. You can use the network installation disk of OpenSuSE 11.1 to start the installation interface, but cannot install it. It is estimated that the complete installation disk can be installed normally.
  5. You have downloaded DamnSmallLinux4.4.10.iso and can run properly.
  6. The ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso is downloaded for normal installation. Network available, sound card available. Because Microsoft does not (or is unlikely) provide integrated components, the integration function is ineffective. The video card runs in lower mode, so moving the mouse feels slow. Although it can be run, it is not highly practical. It is mainly because the driver and integration functions cannot be supported. However, the normal operation is sufficient to show that the Hyper-V architecture is excellent. See the following:

UPDATE

I just tried Virtual Windows XP Applications. When the virtual machine is running, you cannot open the virtual application.

It turned out to be a program to be installed in XP Mode (for example, I installed thunder in XP Mode .) It can be automatically displayed in the directory here. It is a shortcut with special commands. Unfortunately, the number contained in it is unclear, that is (% SystemRoot % \ system32 \ rundll32.exe % SystemRoot % \ system32 \ VMCPropertyHandler. dll, LaunchVMSal "Virtual Windows XP" | 6edc482d "" ü Ð Â Ð Ï ¢ ") in the second to last parameter. I don't know how to add some Windows programs to this directory.

In addition, I found that these running programs (if they are put in tray in the guest system, they will also automatically appear in tray in win7 ), in addition, I estimate that these programs put the running interface in win7 through remote desktop (or a SoftGrid technology may be used to run a SoftGrid server in Windows 7.

(Red shield and yellow shield are both Windows XP, and thunder runs in XP, while QQ runs in Windows 7, so their Tray is integrated .)

In addition, an interesting problem is also found. You can save the file in ie6 in xp mode and save it to win7.

In, although the display window for saving the IE6 file is XP, after clicking My Documents, the actual entry is Host. In addition, the three directories, including LCASamples, are all Windows 7 desktops. What's more strange is that the shortcut of Windows Media Player is actually on the XP desktop. In addition, the Windows 7 desktop should also display the Library, which is not available here. It can be said that this save window is an inexplicable mixed window, which is very easy to confuse people.

/// 20090506 update

It is found that Windows Virtual PC simulated graphics card performance is too low, in the XP Mode, the thunder look, playback is completely a frame by frame. Completely speechless. I knew I would not delete the VirtualBox XP Virtual Machine.
