downloaded the iso file through BitTorrent, now I am planning to download from

[Update 8th Sep 2005, 1807 hrs IST (GMT +0530 hrs)]: Came across a link titled "824513 - How to Install a Linux Virtual PC " in two of technet pages (Microsoft Virtual PC Overview , TNT1-155: A Technical Overview of Microsoft Virtual PC SP1 version ) but sadly they end up at a "The Knowledge Base (KB) Article You Requested Is Currently Not Available" page.
Recently downloaded the freespire (Free Linspire not squiggle) version of Linux and tried booting it up with Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, it just stops at the booting screen. I tried choosing both the install on local hard disk option and live boot option, but no luck yet. Has anyone had any luck in running linspire on a MS VPC 2004? will love to hear a solution.
