| | USB support in Virtual PC 2007 Its been since 2004 that people ask around for USB support in Virtual PC. I've seen a lot of requests about that in many forums. So... Why Virtual PC still not USB ports in 2008?. Even in the service pack 1 that you had time to release they are not supported. Also, I want to know why MS employees perfer telling people to go VMWare instead of saying to wait for the next release that'll include USB support? It is absolutely absurd. I don't know any company that would allow employees to recommend a competitor!!!! Do you intent to support USB ports or not? I think the question is simple and deserve a better answer. |

And, at the risk of severe pedantry, MVP isn't actually an acronym because it's not a pronounceable word. It's an abbreviation or, more correctly, an initialism... SCUBA, UNICEF, NATO, VISA are acronyms... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |
