[AccessD] Cheap windows

 > I assumed we could  :)  what's the problem?

I'm confused.

I need virtual machines which run a Foxpro for Windows application purchased from a vendor.  I 
purchased these $30 licenses for Windows to run in those virtual machines.  I already have one of 
the VMs up and running one of these cheap licenses.

If you are talking about Linux, then free isn't exactly free since I have to spend dozens if not 
hundreds of hours getting myself up to speed on something I don't use, then getting them to run 
(running Linux in Hyper-V was non-trivial, I have tried), then getting something like Wine to 
emulate windows then dealing with any headaches of incompatibility...

A $30 license for the real thing (Windows) looks mighty fine to me!
