Nice post about Virtual Servers 'thumbnail' API

In the past I have posted about using Virtual Servers 'thumbnail' API to perform virtual machine automation by checking the visual contents of the virtual machines screen.

Chris Smith has just posted a nice chunk of code that will take the raw data provided by our thumbnail API and turn it into a standard bitmap resource. This is very handy for anyone wanting to build custom UI for Virtual Server.

The post is available here: https://blogs.msdn.com/chrsmith/archive/2005/07/31/Virtual_Server_VM_thumbnail_image.aspx

Cheers,

  I carry around a SQL 2005 VPC on a portable HDD as well as some standalone apps. What would be really coool would be if I could install the VPC application on the HDD so it ran purely from the mobile disk as my other portable applications do.
  
  Possible?

  Hi MC,
  
  This is not really possible - as Virtual PC requires that some specific drivers be installed on the host system.
