That's why I moved over to using VirtualBox instead of VMWare :-) it works much better overall for home use than VMWare, and I don't have to futz around with dodgy patches to get it to work on a new kernel (at least I haven't had to yet). That's not always an option. For instance, VB does not support Win98, and VMW does. True enough... but wow... does anyone still have something that must run on Win98 over say...
Yes, sadly. The only way to admin our twenty VOIP PBXs is via a Win98 only app. NORTEL SUCKS! They treat their customers like toilet paper and leave you high and dry with products that never worked as advertised once you make them work by sticking a Cisco router in front of each one of them. Incompetent bastards.
XP? I know there are a few legacy apps around that have odd requirements... it's surprising though that there would be any real need to actually use Win98 or Win95 anymore.
It is pretty common. I know of another shop that has to run Win98 in a VM to control million dollar CNC machines. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
