Ubuntu 7.10 in Virtual PC 2007
Posted on April 14th, 2008 by timalmond
I’d prefer to run a proper dual-boot environment, but it’s quite a setup, so I tried setting up Ubuntu on Virtual PC 2007 using this guide.
The guide is about spot-on. The only two suggestions are:-
- Increase the memory to 1GB.
- Once the process is running, change it in Task Manager to use 1 processor as it seems to reduce keyboard repeats occurring.

Pity I have a Mac.
James,
You’ve a number of options for something similar on Mac. Bootcamp (which allows for easy dual boot), VMWare Fusion (for virtualisation) and Parallels (virtualisation too).
I’ve heard good things about VMWare Fusion.
