[Coco] VCC is a Windows program Re: VCC + wish list

[Tom Seagrove]

BartPE would be a good thing to use to create a stripped down Windows to use
just for emulation.

We use it for embedded systems at work and I have a copy that boots from a
USB Thumb Drive for imaging the touchscreens that use the embedded version
of Windows.

It is great for making boot cd's to scan for viruses etc...

 There is a form of WinXP called "Embedded XP". It allows you to create 
a WinXP with application program that only has those elements need to 
run. Used in a lot of Point-of-Sale Terminals. Could be used to make a 
COCO3 emulator that will boot direct into the emulator.
