Virtual PC 2007
Can Virtual PC 2007 (RC1), installed on Vista 64 bit, run 32 bit Windows XP?
I may upgrade to Vista 64, however, have a few apps that only run on 32 bit XP. So, I thought I'd just use VPC 2007 64 bit and install a 32 bit Win XP. Any thoughts?

I was just curious to what these apps that don't run are. I thought the main problems would be with drivers, or are these 16-bit apps? ss.

Thanks. Basically the only app that wont run under Vista is a Nortel VPN
Contivity client. Nortel may release a Vista compliant client sometime later this year. "Synapse Syndrome" wrote in message ... msnews.microsoft.com wrote in message ...

This is a supported configuration for VPC2007. The only potential gotcha
that I can think of is that if you need access to hardware that's not supported in VPC, specifically, USB connected hardware. msnews.microsoft.com wrote in message ...

It's doubtful that this Nortel VPN client will work in VPC.

Thanks. Any idea if VPC 2007 will eventually support USB? I personally
find it rather ridiculous that it wouldn't support USB... considering pretty much every competative product supports usb. "LaRoux" wrote in message ... This is a supported configuration for VPC2007.

I haven't heard any indication that this is forthcoming in the near future.
If this is something you want\need, I would recommend VMWare Server. msnews.microsoft.com wrote in message ... Thanks. Any idea if VPC 2007 will eventually support USB?

Actually, I have successfully installed and run the Notrel client within a
VPC (XP)... just not under a VPC installed in 2007 on Vista. "LaRoux" wrote in message ... It's doubtful that this Nortel VPN client will work in VPC. msnews.microsoft.com wrote in message ...

That's good news. I'll have to try this with the latest Cisco client. Thanks
