Recently VMWare announced the release of a free (as in beer) “player”. (No link since it’s so easy to find using Google.) I thought this might be a way to finally install Linux on my most powerful machine. If I could use VMWare to run the VirtualPC images I use for work then I can throw out Windows altogether. Well, it was worth a shot anyway.

Major disappointment though! It turns out VMWare Player can’t handle VirtualPC images unless you run VMWare on Windows. It doesn’t even seem to be possible to use a VMWare on a Windows machine to convert the VirtualPC images to VMWare images. So, VMWare Player is useless to me, and I’ll be stuck running Windows a bit longer on my other machine…
