Come on… how will this work on my Mac? Do you really expect me to roll out Bootcamp, just so I can get a virtual PC running?
I’m sure server 2012 is a good product, and I’m sure the virtual PCs run well. It’s just not enough of a reason to make me want to install it. What else does it do for the home user?
It’s a server product…so not quite designed for the average home user. If you’re interested in trying it, you could win an xbox, otherwise you’re not really expected to do anything.
You could try Parallels if you didn’t want to worry about Bootcamp.
