It says "You are NOT running Windows > XP", which is all perfectly true, I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 :-) Holy cow, you win! For shits and giggles in February I decided I'd install Windows on a virtual machine so I could play around. I immediately gave up on Win7, even though I use it at work. WinXP had heavy requirements (# of GB for a base install) but I found myself wishing I could track down a Win2000 disk, as it was pretty modest. What's the point of a virtual machine running an OS that requires 20GB for an install?
