RUN WC4 And Older WC Games In VISTA

[Unregistered]

Just wanted to let everyone know I have had success in running Wing Commander III and IV in Windows Vista (RC1) using Virtual PC 2007 (free beta from microsoft) with Windows 98 SE running in the VPC.

I have not experienced any of the issues or snags I have encountered trying to run these games in DosBOX or other emulators.

Gameplay seems solid, no audio anomalies like stuttering or distortion. Video is as crisp as when the game ran on my old 166MHZ AMD x386 computer.

Check it out for yourselves.

I wonder if that will allow me to run X-Com Apoc without all the hassle required for XP.

Does Virtual PC 2007 beta support USB devices and Direct3D acceleration?
