RE: [MS_AccessPros] Re: OT - Windows 8 Beta

Thanks, John. I only have the free version of VMWare. I think I will just build a Win 7 VM to "play" with Office 2013. I really dont want to hose my current 2010 Office and I dont have a spare physical machine. Steve

Steve-



I managed to get a version to work on a licensed copy of VMWare Workstation a

couple of months ago, but haven't tried it recently.

Yes, you are correct Bill that Virtual PC isn't supposed to work with it. But I

tried it anyway after Oracle Virtual Box (that is what most web sites I looked

at recommend using) and VMWare free both didn't work. Steve

Just so you know you aren't being ignored...



I think I read somewhere that Win 8 won't run on MS Virtual PC, but I haven't

heard anything about VMware. Have you researched that yet? I can ask our VMware

guy if he's tried it yet. Let me know.
