WIM2VHD - More reason for can't wait ..

If so far you have only known of the straight path of getting Windows Virtual PC.. getting Windows XP Mode...install all your apps in XP Mode then that wouldn't be very interesting right ?

However, you now have a more attractive option :

1.) Using your existing Windows XP imagex WIM image to create a VHD by WIM2VHD

2.) Install just Windows Virtual PC

3.) Create a virtual machine with the VHD created in step 1

4.) Install Integration Components and RemoteApp.

Now people can use the three modes of Windows XPM.


So what are you still waiting ? For me I am going ahead before 2010 :)



Please note though this is only a valid option if you have hardware support for virtualization.
