Howdy all, i realize this probley isnt legal but i did pay for VPC with win2k so i dont feel i am doing anything wrong. What i want to do is install vpc on my powerbook and copy over the win2k installation to itfrom my powermac. i have some programs and files i would like to keep intact. Can this be done and if so how? what files do i have to copy and how do i make vpc see them. Its vpc 6. Thanks all.

Duff-Man says....while there are some programs with licenses that allow you install on a laptop as well as a desktop (as long as you are the primary user of both...) - MS Office for instance....Virtual PC is not one of those, so yes what you are doing is not legal (just for the record). I wonder though, now that VPC is in M$'s hands, if they will change the EULA to match that of Office for Mac?.......of yeah!
