The biggest problem is that

The biggest problem is that we don't have the resources to test and validate older platforms like Win2k. We already have our hands full with all the variants of XP plus international versions and now Vista with seven different editions in the US alone! If you are interested in helping to test it out (with no guarantees it will work at all or won't mess up your data) we could send you a version that doesn't have the WinXP restriction. If you test it out and report back that everything works, we could relax the WinXP restriction in future versions; however we wouldn't be able to "officially" support it because we don't have the QA resources. -John

moka5 able to run on win2k and up?

Fri, 26 Jan 2007 09:32:42 -0800

Ok, would it be too hard to implement? Its just that right now, there is always a mix of win2k and xp machines. Sometimes when I go far off somewhere,the people I visit only have win2k. Since vmware player runs on its own and what ever it runs inside of itself doesnt matter to the host computer, how can this be a problem to make moka5 able to run on win2k and up?

Currently there are no plans. If there are more users that request for W2K, it may happen. Kevin

Thanks for the feedback on the website and your experience with the LivePC Engine. Without your feedback, we won't know what to improve on. We are aware of the download issue with the Vista LivePC and should have it addresses in the next day or so. Vista LivePC does not download Sorry for the troubles. Kevin

Take it With you on USB

I just got into this and I have read a lot of the website but something I must be missing something or the site is not simple enough for grandma yet. I installed the live pc engine, and I was under the impression that I could have a totally working xp on a usb stick and carry it with me on trips and use it on a freinds pc if needed to. Like I said I installed it to the desktop and ran it and had trouble at first, cause I had vmware workstation 5.0 installed and you do not flat out tell the ingredients anywhere for a flawless, headacheless install unless you read the forums. Nevertheless, I read and found out that I must have 5.5 or something inorder for the vmware player to work. So I do that, and now it works and I run it and fearless browser comes to life.
