Windows 98 SE on VirtualBox

If you're sane the first question should be...."Why????"

Well, because we can and every now and again we need to reacquaint ourselves with just how good we have it these days.

It's Windows 98 on VirtualBox!  Follow along as I suffer the pain of trying to get a 15 year old operating system working in a VM.  

No, it didn't go quietly or softly into the night...

BTW, if you want to see some real pain check out the Windows 3.11 video below it.

Enjoy!

Virtualization on the cheap with VirtualBox

Recently, I've been working on virtualization projects and one of them just didn't rise to the level of a VMWare rollout.  Even ESXi was a bit much for the deployment so instead we went with virtualbox which was much cheaper (free) and easier to administer.

Follow along with the following videos as I show you how I "kick it old school" with DOS and Windows for Workgroups in the latest VirtualBox platform.  Why such an old OS? Hey, anyone can load up Ubuntu or XP but a 20 year old OS takes some real effort and forces you to get up to your elbows in the virtualization platform.
