Default Loses data when PC shuts down

Thanks for the suggestion Maxim. That's an idea worth trying. But, why
do you suggest MS Virtual PC instead of System Commander 8 by Vcom?


MS Virtual PC is more comparable to VMWare (direct competitor), while System
Commander is IIRC the "boot manager", which allows you to choose among one of
the OSes to boot.

VPC and VMWare are virtual machines - they allow you to run Win98 in a window
under WinXP.

It's good that MS Virtual PC has a 45 day trial period. In the long
run, is it worth the price?


Good product, and improves each version. For some tasks like Windows NT
kernel-mode debugging, VMWare is better, but VPC is good and fast.

You can try it and decide whether it deserves payment.
