Installing The February CTP Under Virtual PC / Virtual Server

Thursday, 23 February 2006 by Michel Roth

This is from the "new" blog Virtually Vista. It details on how to install the Windows Vista Enterprise February CTP under Virtual PC / Virtual Server. The good news is definately that you can finally turn up the colors in your VM. No more 4 bit colors:

"There haven't really been any changes to the process of installing Vista in a Virtual Machine. As such, I'm just going to include links to the previous posts (VPC / VS). Just replace 'December' with 'February' and you should be good to go.

One thing to note, though. The graphics are prettier when you're done installing (no more 4-bit color - yay!), but that doesn't mean you shouldn't install the additions. The graphics driver provided by the additions is still a better performer, and you get all the other benefits of the additions as well."
