Now: how can I pick up my pre-installed Vista by the scruff of the neck
and run it under Xen or whatever?
I'm pessimistic. I suspect that the pre-installed Vista, and the restore
disk, won't run because the virtual evironment has different I/O devices.
Even if it has drivers for the virtual devices, it might guess that it is
being pirated because so many things in its environment changed all at
once.
Has anyone tried this?
