*NOTE:* This is intended for people running Windows Vista as their main OS. These instructions include how to set up Virtual PC within Vista, and get
FairUseWM working again. All you need is a Windows XP disc.

(Tested under Home Basic/Premium, Business, and Ultimate). *This ALSO works on XP...you can just run an older version of XP within Virtual PC on your
updated XP host OS.*

Here it is working, I installed Virtual PC yesterday, and Windows XP today, so this is 100% working and can be done by anyone using Vista. I am doing
this on an intel MAC, so anyone should be able to do this.

P.P.S. - You can install Virtual PC on XP also, so you can run an older version of XP on your more updated version of XP. That way if you can get your
main host OS to work with FairUse4WM, then you can at least get the virtual PC one to work with it, so these instructions work for anyone who needs
FairUse4WM to work. This is a guaranteed method, since you are doing a clean install of XP in your virtual machine, and as long as you don't update it
will keep working.

The "2007-04-29" fix should be the end to everyone's problems...just load Virtual PC and just run a more out-of-date XP within your main OS. All you will be using it for is downloading music and FairUse4WM so you only need to tell Virtual PC to allocate like 128mb ram while it's running...You can also set up a shared folder to move the new un-DRM'd files back over to your host OS, so it's just like having another networked computer.
