Re: [9fans] Adventures of a home user

To whom it may concern: had the right patches for Plan 9 to work on Virtual
PC been incorporated and a new ISO released half the complaints from
Windows users who want to give Plan 9 a try would disappear. Some potential
enterprise users might also get interested in running many Plan 9 instances
on Microsoft Virtual Server platform after seeing it run on Virtual PC (Due
to its light weight Plan 9 may be a good choice for some virtual hosting
services).

P.S. No need to remind me the originator of this thread is trying Plan 9 on
a VM in Linux. He has a working Windows installation anyway and configuring
Virtual PC for networking (or any task) is way easier than QEMU.
Performance is comparable. Plus, VPC's graphics and guest-host integration
work perfectly.
