I would like to study for the A+ OS exam but don't really have a spare pc to
load all the various Operating Systems.

Is there a virtual OS that I can use that would include Win9x, NT, 2K and
XP?

thx

Anna

Microsoft has Virtual Machine software and you might also want to check out
VMWare.

Check this out on Amazon.com

You can get a used book and CD for $12.00 US, Most I looked at state "CD
never opened". I have not gotte nine yet but it is on the way.

Search on Amazon for
"A+ Complete Virtual Trainer"
by Dan Newland, Dan Newland

This may be a better alternative to borrowing OS's from friends.

The simplest solution is to set up a multiboot system.

Thanks for the information, looks like a great program with a free trial
period.
