Guest Steven Wabik Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Re: Microsoft Virtual Machine stopped working. please help. yea, vita does have its issues, thats why I am going to upgrade to windows 7 when it comes out. thank goodness I am able to beta test this new operating system. so far it works better than vista. when windows 7 comes out vista is gone. for the older operating systems, I may just use them in virtual machine, or use them in a dual boot. it just depends on the applications that i will be using with that specific operating system.
