We`ll stick to the real sky,

And doing all this confirmation on and on just for opening a menu-window in

is better spend under the stars.
Clear skies.


Whether its worth the trouble or not is your own call. I've read that
VirtualPC actually does work with Vista Home, but is not supported (that
describes a number of possible guest OSs as well). Another option is
VirtualBox, which definitely runs under all versions of Vista, and is
also free.

My personal solution is to simply avoid using Vista, which so far seems
to offer very few advantages, and those in exchange for way too many
hassles.
