32-bit applications on 64-bit Vista

[Jibey Jacob]

Hi:

Do 32-bit applications made for 32-bit Vista run without problems on 64-bit
Vista? Is it possible to run Virtual PC 2007 on 64-bit Vista and then run
Small Business Server 2003 R2 on that VM?

Thanks.

32-bit apps have a high degree of compatibility on 64-bit Windows.
It's not 100%.

In theory, the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo...

....as the site says, ensures compatiblity with 32-bit and 64-bit
Windows Vista. Of course this does apply only to software carrying
this logo.

How about running Virtual PC 2007 on 64-bit Vista and then running Micorosft
Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 on that VM? Would this have any
compatibility problems?

Thanks.

You need to go to the Microsoft web site and look up VPC
2007. I don't think the VPC will support a server OS as a
Guest, but I may be wrong. I couldn't find anything
specific about it doing a quick check.

This web site: http://vpc.visualwin.com/ doesn't specify
Business version, but it no that Microsoft provides "NO
SUPPORT" for the Server 2003 in VPC.
