Does VirtualPC work?

[Jeff]

John,
I installed Vista in VPC with Vista as a host.
In that scenario;the sound stinks(and the vpc07 ppl know its a problem); but
runnin xp in vpc;with Vista as the host; and using the VM additions; it
wasn't bad,actually.

It is a free download, so what is the problem here?

Huh?
That stinks,
another feature gone-POOF- what the heck; I'm starting to think Vista
really IS what some say; a glorified xp sp4

Jeff

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

In other words, the amount loaded on the Vista machine should have no
affect on the XP machine.

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.

can you use a 64 bit guest on a 64 bit host.
or is it limited to 32 bit guest only.

Virtual PC only supports 64 bit hosts, not guests. VMWare supports 64 bit guests, if you have a 64 bit cpu with VT.

Jeff, I've just installed VPC 2007 on Vista again and then installed XP into
VPC. I've now actually got sound! Strange, really, bacuse on my XP partition
VPC also has XP installed as a virtual disk and on this one i have no sound
or speaker icon at all.

John,
I found that you need to install the VM additions in the virtual o.s.
for it to see a emulated sound card.
At least that's what I did; running xp and vista as virtual machines
