> the check in virt-what that detects running inside virtualpc gives a false

> Could this check be updated or disabled for that matter until there is a

> a dmidecode on a surfacebook 2 lists the hw manufacturer as Microsoft which is
> correct but the dmidecode based check for virtual pc uses this to detect if it
