M$ Virtual Machine and WinXP Pro

Mon Aug 12, 2002 6:27 pm

:-? Anybody know a reliable source for M$ Virtual Machines now that M$ have chickened out and stopped allowing the download?

:roll: I've installed WinXP Pro on an Advanced (not Upgrade) install and it all works fine, except anything which req Java/VM.

Go here:

http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/pc/microsoft/msj ... Bulletins/

The file is: msjavx86.exe

The connection is REAL slow, so expect a long download time. :(

I'd advise to use the Sun JAVA JRE VM. It's much faster and more stable then the Microsoft version anyway, and it's far more compatible.
