If you have already upgraded to Vista and tried to run Virtual PC 2004, you probably found that it was not quite the same experience that it was in Windows XP.
The newest release of Virtual PC 2007 solves many of the difficulties that were found running on Windows Vista. Virtual PC 2007 has been optimized for Windows Vista as both a host and guest system.
One of the biggest benefits of Virtual PC 2007 on Vista now is that if you have legacy applications that would not run on Vista, you can now have an install of XP as a guest system and then run those applications.
If you were holding off on Vista because of this reason you can now move forward. As always, the cost is the best … free! Download it here.

hello,
do you know if SBS is a supported guest OS on Virtual PC 2007? are there any cons?
thx! jT
Josh-
I haven’t specifically ran SBS under virtual PC, but I have run Server 2003 and Server 2008 with no problems. I would just go ahead and give it a try, I have never had an issue where Vritual PC hurt anything by trying.
