O.K., Mark, then I totally misconstrued this product. I thought it (and
Connectix | VPC before it) might offer complete, self-contained OS
replacements. (Like VMWare ?? Or VPC for the Mac ?) If you must already
have the desired OS install cd, that would explain the high disk-space
requirements. But it remains a bit unclear to me where the so-called
"emulation" (a la ODIN code) comes in, if you are in fact still installing
some form of "real" Win-32, or Linux . . . and perhaps then running it, under
eCS.
