Re: virt-what wrongly detects a surfacebook 2 as virtualpc

So it took a while but here are the relevant files for detecting if a machine is running within virtualpc.
I will send in another message with the info for the surface laptop.

Could the virt-what tool be updated so it will detect correctly if it is running within virtual pc or not?

Best regards,
William van de Velde
