Space Empires will run in a functional window (sort of)

With the addition of a little software, SE4 will run in an environment where it can co-exist with the local desktop

Is it yet another virtual machine? The screenshot is too small to read the title of the window

Edit: with help of magnifying glass I was able to read the title: "Microsoft Virtual PC 2004". Is it shareware or freeware? Though it would be fondly to expect freeware from MS

Well, to be completely honest about it, the game will run on a virtual OS that runs in a functional window.

It�s XP pro running over Windows 2K with Microsoft Virtual PC. The app lets you build a virtual machine complete with apps and OS. It is fully functional, and runs beside the host OS. In this case, I am logged into the domain with both OS�s at the same time, and on the same NIC.

The game seems to run fine, but there is a limit to the amount of "game testing" I can get away with here at work. Being in a cubicle limits my activities quite a lot

This is a 1024/768 window running on a 1280/1024 desktop

And it seems to drive well, even though this system is very long in the tooth. With the long weekend coming up, I prolly have time to test it out on one of my systems at home. I have XP, 98se and 95 on this box, and it will load any two of the three virtual OS�s at the same time. It runs out of ram before the third one loads.

how much time does it take to set it up for an experienced pc user until you can click once and start the game and run a dvd movie at the same time ?
