Misunderstanding?

How did everyone apparently miss the point of the initial thread
question? Although some useful information was presented regarding
running Vista in a virtual environment, this was not the answer to
Abe's initial question.

Abe asked if there is a version of VIRTUAL PC that is available FOR
Vista. (NOT if there was a version of VISTA that will run ON VPC.)

To answer the question somewhat, Vista Home Premium is not "supported"
by Microsoft VPC 2007, but it *will* run MSVPC2007. I have both, but I
haven't had the chance to test VPC on my computer. To reiterate, I
have VPC installed IN VISTA, and I intend on running other OS's such
as WinXP in the virtual environment.

I will still be searching for an answer to Abe's question.

To simplify the "not supported" clause of any software agreement; "not
supported" is an easy way for a company (such as Microsoft) to wash
their hands of any responsibility to provide: A. support information
for any given operating system (OS) or any OS edition (such as Windows
Vista Home Premium) or B. compatibility with whichever same OS given.

well documented in the microsoft.public.virtualpc newsgroup. However,
this is not that newsgroup, this newsgroup is specifically for Virtual
PC for Mac, not Windows.

Microsoft does not provide support for "home" versions of XP and Vista
with Virtual PC.
