Best Windows XP Emulator?

[Sandi1987]

VMware or VirtualBox? Which one for Windows XP? I tried Windows XP in PCem Emulator and it's very slow.

Virtualbox felt smoother to me, however if you're looking for a virtual machine with 3D acceleration don't expect much from it.

VirtualPC,original windows XP mode is the best way,sadly only runs on up to windows 7 though.

VirtualBox.

But that is not an "XP emulator". It simply allows you to install XP to a Virtual Machine.

It simply allows you to install XP to a Virtual Machine.

Which makes it an emulator,emulating older/more generic hardware and making it possible to get winXP installed and running on systems with hardware that don't have XP drivers.

Semantics.
An "emulator" would be something that runs 'as XP', all on its own.

In any case, VirtualBox is my preferred way of running an XP instance, if I were so inclined.
