DerkPY Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I have posted this in the Mac forum as well. I have seen a screenshot of a Mac OS X running Windows in a window just like it was running a program. Can this be done the oposite way round? What program would I use, and is it possible to download Mac operating systems? (not warez).

jimbo11883 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 You can emulate the older mac hardware with an emulator and download a full version of the MacOS 7.5.3 from Apple. That's as good as you can get for what's out there so far.

unspec Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I have seen a screenshot of a Mac OS X running Windows in a window just like it was running a program.

Rivak Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Ah, the wonders of OSX. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/39562-running-windows-through-mac/#findComment-397690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted July 24, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 24, 2002 The program is called Virtual PC, it cannot be used the other way round. I.E. you cannot run OS X on windows. Here's a screenshot, you're lucky I was just converting Marvilla's icons: It's Windows 98 cause that's the fastest. I haven't got a need for XP or anything else, I only use VPC for Gif Movie Gear. I posted screenshots in the desktop threads with me running VPC as well, with Windows XP. You can run any version of Windows on Virtual PC from 95 up to XP, you can also install operating systems like Linux as well.

LUTZIFER Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 With that Virtual PC, would it be possible to run Windows 98 as a program on Windows XP? Why I'm wondering... is that I have the Microsoft Cordless Phone system, which is awsome, but unfortunitely it isn't compatible with Win XP and never will be. And I definitely don't want to do a dual boot of 98 and XP, so if I could run Win 98 in a window, that would probably work, anyone think so?

Yes you can, with VPC for windows, you can run basically the same as mac.

Hatter Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Basilisk II can do this with Mac OS up to 8.1. Nothing can currently emulate the hardware to run OS9 or OSX.

Dazzla Veteran Posted July 24, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 24, 2002 I've merged the two threads PigeonHead, it was messy having two, plus you shouldn't double post.

Dazzla Veteran Posted July 24, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 24, 2002 Originally posted by PigeonHead http://www.emulators.com/ That's already been said. That can run System 6, 7 and 8. You cannot run OS 9 or OS X on Windows. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/39562-running-windows-through-mac/#findComment-397813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
