I would like to add it to my unicorn and Pegasus collection.

maybe a kickstart to buy the code? [like blender?]

really can't think of us getting screwed you've never gotten a laptop with a VT compatible CPU and the option is disabled in bios...
well just go in a turn it on....

OH WAIT.... THERE IS NO MENU OPTION TO TURN IT BACK ON.... so someone must hack the bios to turn it on...

yes i am using a laptop with just such an issue(never dreamed to check that before buying the laptop)

geek paranoia is because we've been screwed over and over...

and if it's not paranoia it's let's keep watch and make sure it does not happen...

but please explain why how VT option is not an option on some laptops... some OEM decided that i should not be able to run VM's(with cpu acceleration) on my laptop?

Number of people ask what percent along are you.

Looking at where you are now, and what it's taken to get there... can you give an estimate of MAN hrs to get to a number of MILE stones you might pick..

win 3.1, win 95,win 98, win 98se, 2k, XP.
server versions
Vista?
direct x versions .net versions
(no i didn't miss ME is there anything that "requires it?")
I would think it's understood that one can't give 100% accurate numbers but i think it might be of value to everyone involved to have an estimated times for some target goals.

And thank you for your time and all the hard work you have put in to this.
