Has anyone tried to get Windows 7/8 running on linux with the Microsoft Virtual PC download directly from Microsoft? It doesn't seem to be working using the default Boxes or Virtual Machine (QEMU) in CentOS / Red Hat?
SETTINGS:
Base Memory 1024 MB
Video Memory 128 MB
Network Adapter: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (NAT)
Windows Virtual Box (from Microsoft)

Is there any chance Microsoft or modern.ie will just release an iso install rather then a native Virtual System File?
It sounds like you're trying to get Microsoft's IE Virtual PC images working in VirtualBox (not Virtual PC itself).
Luckily there is a tool available to automate the process of converting the images and getting them to work in VirtualBox. Take a look at ievms.
Check http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads
This images are legal as modern.ie launched by Microsoft.
Site provide a wide range of up-today Windows images for Windows/Mac/Linux.
Microsoft Virtual PC downloads from http://dev.modern.ie/ (MS) only support Virtual Box on linux and not the Virtual Machine Manager that comes with CentOS.

I'm trying to develop for HoloLens but my laptop doesn't support the needed specs, so I was trying to figure out a virtualized solution (namely, using an Azure VM).
After unsuccessfully running the emulator on the Azure VM, I found that according to Microsoft (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh831531), "The Hyper-V role is not supported on a Microsoft Azure virtual machine", which kills that idea.
Does anyone know of an alternative virtual option for developing and running the HoloLens emulator, which doesn't rely on the host machine's (i.e. my laptop) specs?
Yes, in the latest version of Unity which is Unity 5.5, there's a new feature called "Holographic Emulation" that will enable you to run on a simulated device directly in the editor.
As for the requirements, you need to have
Unity 5.5 installed in your machine
Windows 10 Anniversary Update (or later) installed
Here's the link to the blog in case you want to check more details about the simulator
Hololens emulator IS the Hyper-V virtual machine with Windows 10 and 3D graphic capabilities. The host machine should be able to run Hyper-V (CPU/BIOS limitation) and have a 3D adapter. More details are here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/using-the-hololens-emulator
Then you could install the emulator from
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/install-the-tools
Hololens emulator is not supported in VM due to CPU limitation, you can use holographic simulation in Unity instead.
Hello I have installed qemu manager virtualization program on my gateway amd e2-3800 windows 10 laptop, in order to install ubuntbu 16.04.
i have created a virtual machine, using the default definitions (beside giving the maximum ram of 2gb).
i have downloaded the ubunbu 16.04 imag file, pinted the "CD-ROM" drive of the virtual machine to the image fileand and run the virtual machine.
It didn't worked as expectd - the console and the monitor are empty and at the botom of the windows is written "QEMU console not connected",
there is nothing in "google" for this problem, and i have watched several youtube videos on using QEMU to see wether i have made some error in dfining the virtual machine, i have also read the manual... but came up with, well... nothing.
Does anybody have any idia or recomendations?
thank you in adanced.
chen.
I had the same problem and after decreasing the VM's RAM to 1 GB it worked okay.
Hardware -> Video Card, select other options.
In my case, running OVMF, I select "None", then it works.
Title says it. There are not strong enough words in the English language that can express my hatred of Windows 8. I will not install it on my personal machine.
I was hoping to create an Azure VM and do my development there. But Windows 8 was not an option for a VM. So on a whim I created a 2012 Server VM and downloaded and installed the Windows 8 SDK. It installed fine.
I created a Hello World application and tried to run it. I got an error saying that Hyper-V was required. I used Coreinfo.exe to check and it says Hyper-V is not supported. So am I SOL?
The Windows Phone 8 emulator requires Client Hyper-V, which is a new feature of Windows 8. The emulator is an x86 virtual machine, which runs an x86 build of Windows Phone 8, and makes use of the RemoteFX technology for hardware virtual GPU support. It's so it runs at a high percentage of real device performance, and is very closely compatible.
Unfortunately, for hardware reasons, Hyper-V cannot be nested. In the Intel and AMD processor virtualization models, a guest operating system cannot itself be a nested hypervisor.
RemoteFX requires Second Level Address Translation. How to check if your processor supports it.
If you want to use the emulator, I'm afraid you have to install Windows 8. You can always dual-boot. Alternatively, get a phone developer-unlocked so you can debug on real hardware.
Can anyone point me into the right direction to use a VMWare installation of Ubuntu or another Linux distro as a development server on my local machine?
I'm on a Windows 7 32bit machine and currently using WAMP.
I'm noticing some differences between developing on a windows machine and my deployment server and additionaly I'd like to expand my knowledge on working on linux using the command line.
Follow-up question, what would be the best way to develop on my local installation and push that development to my VPS that I'm renting?
I'd suggesting downloading a LAMP appliance from http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/cat/0?k=lamp if you don't want to get into building your own, and running that on VMWare Player.
If you want to build your own, you could use VMWare Server, Oracle VirtualBox or any other Virtualization software. Create a New VM, with 512MB or RAM, and 4GB (+ the requirements of your tools + a buffer of 2GB) of disk. I recommend 10GB, or you could set it up for maybe 50GB and let the virtual disk grow as needed rather than allocating all the space up front.
Then, download the Ubuntu Server 12.04 ISO file from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server , and use it as the CD Drive to boot your VM. Follow the on-screen instructions to install. And at the end, select the options to install the LAMP configuration.
Note: Using Ubuntu's server edition means you don't get any GUI.
How can I share a file with my virtualised Windows CE box if the HPC Factor WindowsCE Virtual PC images do not support the Virtual Machine Additions or the virtual network driver?
I cannot mount a shared folder, since it requires the VM Additions and I cannot copy a file via the network, since it requires a working network driver.
Is there a way to copy a file from my host system to my CE VM or is there a better way to emulate Windows CE on my Windows 7 host system?
If your OS image includes ActiveSync, you could try to install a virtual (software-based) serial port, and connect ActiveSync on your workstation with the one on your virtual device. I have not tested this myself in Windows CE but in theory it should work. I found a commercial virtual serial port software here, and an open source one here.
If your OS image does not support ActiveSync, you could still try this approach using two serial port-based file transfer applications, for example hyperterminal on your workstation and Zterm CE on Windows CE.
