Microsoft Virtual PC: Difference between revisions

* '''CON:''' 15- and 24-bit graphics modes aren't supported in the emulated S3 Trio (but they are in the real one), they screw up the display. It looks like some kind of 1980's computer with a defective CRT. Oddly enough, 32-bit color '''_is_''' supported. See [http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/05/09/415814.aspx this post] on Virtual PC Guy's MSDN blog.

* '''CON:''' It only supports a minimal set of hardware - just enough for decent use. It doesn't support VBE 3.0 (the one with protected-mode access), BIOS32 for PCI (although that is easily implemented without the BIOS), or loopback mode for the serial UARTs.
