Oh, and Ton - if you're interested in hacking on QEMU some more, I<br>would love to see a build with some extra command line parameters:<br><br>--start-kqemu Executes 'net start kqemu' automatically if the service exists.<br>--window-title="...." Changes the title of the window from QEMU to<br>whatever, say 'OLPC Software Environment 8.2.0'.<br><br>Then we could have the shortcut run qemu.exe directly and eliminate<br>the command prompt window, for a more seamless experience.<br><br>Best,<br>Wade<br><br>On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 4:30 PM, Wade Brainerd <<a ymailto="mailto:wadetb@gmail.com" href="mailto:wadetb@gmail.com">wadetb@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> I'd love to get the Windows installer capable of installing without<br>> issue on Vista, but I lack a Vista machine to test.
