Hi,
I'm need to get Microsoft picture it working under windows 7. If I buy vmware Workstation for Window swill that let me install Microsoft picture it working under windows 7?

you don't need vmware workstation. vmware player, which is free, will allow you to install any old version of windows.

You do need to have another version of Windows to install in the hypervisor though which MS Picture IT supports.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies

I have a old version of Windows XP pro that I used on an old computer. It's been registered with Microsoft tho- could I still use it?

if it's a retail copy and that computer isn't in use with that OS then yes. if it's an OEM copy or came pre-installed on the pc, then no.

i must admit, i don't even know what "picture it" is but have you looked for a modern alternative? this all seems a bit extreme.

GIMP
Picasa
Photoline
Adobe CS2 (http://betanews.com/2013/01/10/adob...free-kind-of-maybe-not-really-but-absolutely/)

All free.

Picture IT uses a proprietary file format which I don't think any of those support.
