who has run nt/2k in a virtual machine?

[ironman14]

Im running NT4 SP6a with Virtualbox. The only problem which I have with it is the display driver. I have only 16 colors. But in terms of perfomance it is very good. Software support amazingly is well too and you can run most of the modern programs just fine but I do not recommend installing NT 4.0 on a real modern machine.

PS: Installing NT 3.1 or 3.51 on a real machine is overkill.

To fix your colors, go in your VM, choose Devices, then Insert Guest Additions CD Image. This will install Guest Additions, including True color support.

I currently run Windows 2000 in a virtual machine, and am thinking of running NT 4.0 as a 2nd VM. I have my ideas about which programs to use, but since you use it, do you recommend any certain apps for windows NT 4.0?
