If you have an upgrade = version of Windows, this can bring the installation to a dead end. = Sometimes the win installer even locks up when it tries to access the = just changed cd image. So something still isn't quite right. (In fact, = with this current cvs version, I wasn't able to change the cd at all. = The Win98 installer always locked every time.) 2) Be nice is there were scroll bars on the guest window. Make it a lot = easier to deal with a lot of screen sizes. Not all of us have monitors = that can handle larger resolutions (ie: lcd monitors) and some of us = (such as myself), have eyesight poor enough that working in 1280x or = even 1024x can be a problem. 3) Spaces in filenames are still a problem. Such as paths to cdrom = images when changing the cd while in the monitor screen. 4) I tried installing Win98 with the "-isa" option on qemu. It caused = XP to abort qemu with an error dump. (Unfortunately I couldn't save it, = so I can't send it in to Fabrice.) I didn't try WinXP guest today with this version because I see Fabrice = is posting some new patches, so I should probably wait until the next = cvs build comes out. Admittedly, these issues are the same ones that have been reported = several times. And apparently none of the developers are working on = fixing these and the other reported problems. But, I'm hopeful.
