For one of my client, I have to support a very old VB6 application in which I only have to go once a year. For years, I had a Virtual PC image that I was using for that. Yesterday, I needed to open that VPC image for the first time since I am on Windows 8. Bad news. VPC is not supported on Windows 8.

After less than a minute googling, I have found VirtualBox for which I was reading great comments. I installed it and in minutes, I was up and running in my old VPC image. By the way, the tool is free!
