    You would need a Windows version of director, and to be honest i'm not
    entirely sure that an app of that size will work in virtual pc. If you
    can get director running in virtual pc then there shouldn't be any
    reason why not.

    Hi Joe,

    Feel free to try this, but be aware that this is not an officially supported
    configuration Director MX is supported on. For full compatibility, create
    your Windows projector in a supported Windows operating system. You will
    also need the Windows version of Director MX to create a Windows-compatible
    projector.

    Best regards,

    I think the Director package will be a lot more expensive if it could export
    to mac and pc in one.

    I'm developing Director Applications (including projectors) using VMWare
    inside of Linux myself, VMWare is a full blown virtual intel machine, that
    supports whatever OS you install on it, as long as it is compatible with
    your CPU (intel or AMD that is...).
    It supports USB, CD-Writers, fully bridged networking, etc... It only lacks
    the support of DirectX. Which in Director's case is not so much of a
    problem, not even for shockwave3D since everything can be rendered in
    software mode.

    I prefer VMWare over VPC because it is less resource hungry and fullfills
    all my needs, but VPC does have the advantage that it does emulate a low end
    3D videocard and thus support for DirectX. It's even an acceptable gaming
    platform for golden oldies :o) which VMWare is not.

    Too bad that for Mac users there's only VPC, and even MORE BAD NEWS: VPC has
    been bought recently by no less than big bad billy gates himself, so I
    question the future of VPC.

    To answer your question: "yes" is the answer. But you will need to install
    Windows inside of VPC, and you will need to install the Windows version of
    Director.

    JM.

    Default virtual pc

    I'm in the process of testing Virtual PC on 2000pro; I'd
    be interested in running it on XP to test the different 03
    servers- sbs/std/enterprise/web server. For internet
    access, I see the other 'PCs', need to have the MS
    loopback adapter set up through the host os (got that from
    the help files from VPC).
    How much of a cluster will the loopback adapter cause
    ISA (and Exchange to some extent)?

    Hi,

    I'm not sure of your question:

    How much of a cluster will the loopback adapter cause
    ISA (and Exchange to some extent)?

    Can you re-phrase that please?

    cluster=mess
    Would the server be able to gain access to the net
    through ISA, from the loopback adapter (would I be able to
    set a static ip and etc?)

    I believe so, if you set it up like this:
    VPC - NIC 1 = Your NIC
    VPC - NIC 2 = Loopback

    Guest - NIC 1 = The internet
    Guest - NIC 2 = local network

    Guest2 - NIC 1 = loopback

    But you really might want to try the VPC group, microsoft.public.virtualpc
