No more stand alone Virtual PC?

[MacsRgr8]

Now M$ has its new software offerings, I can't seem to be able to purchase Virtual PC 6.1 w/o Office?
Maybe I missed something here... but I didn't know that was the idea. :(

Welll maybe I was a bit premature....

I didn't check M$ (http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=howtobuy) site....

Sorry :rolleyes:

Of course Microsoft dropped older versions of Windows with virtual PC, leaving Win 2K and XP only. And it looks like they may not be selling the OS packs seperatly anymore.

negatory. you HAVE to buy an OS pack with a new version of VPC... Yay... they figured out another way to screw us over by forcing us to buy another OS...

thank god i have a previous version :(

It is really annoying that now we have to be forced to by the OS they want us to buy with VPC, though.
