I'm going to let my main dev machine do the free upgrade to Win10 soon. I bought a Win7 Pro license yesterday to put on another older Dell laptop I've got (where I currently have Linux Mint on it). Tech buddy here at the Corporate gig suggested I get Virtual Box (free!) to host multiple OSes. I searched the archive for the past year and didn't find much other than a stray reference to it.
Anyone using Virtual Box and can attest to their experience with it?
Thanks, --Mike
Win 7 pro guest on Mac OS X host: OK for 5 years.
Win 10 pro guest on Mac OS X host: froze until recently, have filed a ticket about this, still observing before I migrate.

Thanks, Thierry. Was thinking that instead of using that older Dell laptop, I'd use my current laptop instead since it's specs are much better. 8GB RAM, i5 2.7 GHz. Oh wait....I'm seeing only 18 GB of space free on this SSD drive. Rats. I'm pretty sure that kyboshes this idea (for co-hosted operating systems on this laptop with Virtual Box), since I'm pretty sure the Win OS is greater than 18 GB?!?!?
Hi Mike:
I'm using VirtualBox since many years (VMWare have a free personal version too) because my main OS is Ubuntu Linux, and I have Windows (7, XP, 10, etc) only as virtual machines.
Not used Win 10 too much, but worked ok when I've used it.
Best regards

In my case I use an Oracle virtual box since 2014 with no problems. I have a Win XP, a Wndows Server and a Windows 7 in it with no problems whatsoever. You can use Chrome in it as well.
And it is FREE

I've got 6 Linux boxes set up with 16GB RAM and 500GB hard drives, running VBox and 6 virtual machines, each running Win XP in a 10GB drive space and 1.2 MB of RAM. Each XP instance is set to reboot every night and it works well.
I haven't tried Win 7 or 10 or any other OS as this setup provides exactly what I need.
Very stable, little to no maintenance, but I do monitor it daily.

Don't forget that Win 8/10 Pro comes with HyperV (Microsoft's VM). You just need to enable it in Windows Features.

And does VirtualBox work with shared files in a multi-user environment? That was always the downside to DOSBox. I ask because we still are running one app in FoxPro for DOS under XP Mode on Win7Pro 64-bit machines.

Hi Mike:
A Virtual Machine is --at eyes of your system-- like any other real machine, with networking included. You just need to configure correctly the type of network. In example, using a bridge connection (is not the default!) you can share anything in your intranet and even in internet, if configuring the external router.
Testing how it works will actually takes you almost no time.

Mike,
I have the same situation, identical.
On my development workstation, Win7Pro, I have installed and set up my FoxPro 2.0 DOS application with DOSBox .74 (noconsole) and it works great. In fact, using DOSBox my FoxPro DOS app comes up immediately and there are no intervening steps, no 2nd OS interface to deal with.
The data files in my setup are actually on a machine in another city, accessed via VPN over the Intertube, and DOSBox handles it just fine (as a mapped drive.) So, yes, shared files in a MANY-multi-user environment (~250). I have not used this setup extensively with writing data...so it is possible that updating (writing to) index files or data files might have issues although I'm not sure why they would.
What I have NOT tried is printing from the DOSBox FoxPro DOS app. YMMV.

Mike remember this suggestion, based on experience:
- You first create your VM according to what are you going to do with it. In example, Windows uses +20 GB for it's OS plus continuous updates. I normally create 40 GB VMs, trying to install just the neccesary stuff - For better security and possibility of a smaller backup, you can create 1 Virtual Disk for the programs + OS, and other Virtual Disk for Data, using it as slave, so you can backup just your data and not all your programs and OS too. - At the moment that you finish installing the OS and have it booting OK, without installing anything else and powered off, you make the first snapshot of it, so in the event that something goes wrong when configuring it, you just recover your snapshot and start with a fresh OS again - Then you install and configure things (programs, OS, features, etc), and every time you get something working, take another snapshot, so you can recover the last working one if neccesary - Remember to add a good comment on every snapshot, so you know what you have installed on each step.
Doing this, and in the worst case, you always can restore from your 1st snapshot and get the fresh OS without any software installed, and do not need to spend hours installing and configuring from the start.
Another goodie of separating Programs and Data disks, is that in the case that a virus get inside your Programs VM, you just restore to the previous snapshot I you can't desinfect with AV software and that's it! :D
Best Regards!

The standard distribution of DOSBox does not support printer output. The Implementors state repeatedly and pointedly that DOSBox is intended for games. Since very few games use printers, printer support has not been implemented.
That stated, there are versions with printer support. I use one (though not for FoxPro apps) called the DOSBox Magebuild. It is available at http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-9000/index.html and if you need any help configuring it -- it was a bit of guesswork -- drop me a line.
I have used DOSBox for several years. It has limits that nip at me occasionally and there is a screen refresh quirk that is frustrating, but I do get to run my 16-bit utilities.

Michael:
If all you want to run is DOS and the WinXP is just getting in your way, take a look at FreeDOS. There are some images already created in VMs, since it's free to distribute, and/or there's some great YouTube videos on how to set it up.
I use vmplayer on a win 7 machine and on a win 10 Machine.
Under vmplayer, I run XP.
Vmplayer is free.
The XPs run significantly faster than that used to run on a real XP machine.
