Microsoft® Virtual PC 2007 allows users to conveniently run multiple operating systems on a single computer. Users can switch operating systems as easily as they switch applications—instantly, with a mouse click. As a migration tool, Virtual PC provides a cost-effective safety net for certain employees to run critical legacy applications on an interim basis while you continue migrating to a new operating system. Virtual PC also helps companies more rapidly develop, test, support, and deploy applications. This document presents a technical overview of Virtual PC and how it can benefit your company.

Host Machine: An x86-based or an x64-based computer with a 400 MHz or faster (1 GHz recommended) processor with L2 cache. Virtual PC supports the use of AMD Athlon/Duron, Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core Duo, and Intel Core2 Duo processors. You can run Virtual PC on a multi-processor computer, but it utilizes one processor only.

Host operating system: Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

Guest operating system: Microsoft fully supports the following operating systems running in a virtual machine on Virtual PC: Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home and Pro, OS/2. Users can also install Windows Server operating systems and numerous third-party operating systems, including Red Hat Linux, Novell NetWare, and others.

What has Virtual PC more than VMWare?
I always wondered why is Microsoft trying toe reinvent a square wheel? :--)

Good comment - Microsoft brought a company call connectix a while back.

Connectix wrote Virtual PC up until that point Microsoft was the largest VMware user in the world (except Merrill Lynch) they both had about 20000 users each

Sorry for the language errors...
Anyway, it seems that Microsoft cannot afford to be dependent on third-party technology...
