I would not expect it to work on Vista as it even has problems with DEP in
XP SP2. VPC 2007 is currently in beta and works on Vista.
 
It works fine for me, Brett both on Vista and XP

The Beta of VirtualPC 2007 works fine on Vista at least...

When will the final release be available?

Thanks,
Brett
 
I find VMware Workstation still works better than VirtualPC 2007. Now VPC
2007 is an improvement on 2004, but it is still behind and does not support
Linux as VMware does.

Thanks John. I will be remoting into a Vista machine from XP. If the Vista
machine has about 3.5GB RAM of programs (servers mostly) loaded into memory
and my XP machine only has 1GB of RAM, I should be fine right? In other
words, the amount loaded on the Vista machine should have no affect on the
XP machine.

Brett
 
I agree. VMware also has USB support.

That is correct.

As for VPC, Enterprise and Ultimate Vista editions will have Virtual PC
Express built in. Not sure what is relationship between Express and 2007
though.

I'm running Build 5480 Ultimate. I thought that this would be 'feature
complete' and I see no VirtualPC Express?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but its not, it was planned to be a feature of
Ultimate and Enterprise but that was changed.

Just've set my desktop background to 'Bubbles' screensaver. How did you know
that lol?
 
Hello Jeff,
have you really not looked at Vista yet? it's far from XP SP4...
look at event viewer
look at resource monitor
look at task scheduler
look at calendar
look at mmc > add Windows Firewall with Advanced Settings snap-in
look at NAP
look at the new boot manager
look at the installation method
look at the WAIK

I think you missed something. Besides, VPC2007 is free.

actually Jeff i have no sound option on mine. Okay it's onboard sound but
there is certainly no option to enable any sound or maybe i've missed it.
The same applies to VMware server and MS Virtual Server - never any sound or
option to enable sound.
