Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu Windows XP info in Docs

[André Braga]

Well, I've been running XP for ages. The only problems I ever found,
and I could't even narrow it down to my specific setup yet for
absolute lack of time, was that changing display colour depths
garbages the screen (which is solved either by a VM reboot or a
resolution change as well and going back to the previous one) and that
if I'm running it under KQEMU with Windows XP host, if I attempt to
open the Date&Time applet, QEMU freezes, takes up 100% CPU and can't
be killed, forcing me to close every process I'm able to and then
press the reset switch =P

Then again, I'm using the company's VLK license and pressed SP2 disk,
so I might just be dodging the activation thing completely. :)
