I've been using DOS NT under VirtualPC for some time now (I wrote and
AppleScript to swap between that and DOS 98). I'm running a Computer
Associates OpenIngres database within that and doing database
development, all on a PowerBook G3/300. The only real problem I've had
was with Symantec's pcAnywhere. I can control other's machines but
when someone tries running mine it works for a while then BSoD's.
Just a warning, there is a problem using SP4 under VPC. Connectix
recommends staying at SP3. I tried SP4 and there is a problem with
something called 'netlogin' that lets you do the Ctrl-Alt-Del to type
in the name and password but then hangs and wont let you go further.
After I put on SP4 and had this problem I put my NT CD back in and
reloaded NT but as it complained that existing things were newer I told
it to skip replacing them until I got to 'netlogin', replaced it, then
skipped the rest. They seem to come up alphabetically so you know when
you're getting close to 'netlogin'. It's worked fine from there.
