RE: Virtual PC 2007 On Vista Home Edition

Hi,
Microsoft doesn't support it on Home Premium but I have used it for quite
awhile and it seems to work just fine. You will receive a warning when you
install it that it is not supported on your operating system.

Yes, it works ok on VHP. It's not supported, however.
The newsgroup that discusses it is

Re: Virtual PC 2007 On Vista Home Edition

The Virtual PC application requires a 400 MHz Pentium-compatible processor
(1.0 GHz or faster recommended), and requires approximately 35 MB of disk
space. It runs on Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows
Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition,
Windows Vista SP1 (Enterprise, Business, Ultimate), Windows XP SP3.

Re: Virtual PC 2007 On Vista Home Edition

it runs in fact on any XP and Vista, if M$ likes it or not. There is also a
hack on the net that let's run vpc07 on 2000.

It runs on the Home editions as well but the user is informed that it is not
supported (meaning not eligible for phone and email support from MS PSS on
the Home editions).

Re: Virtual PC 2007 On Vista Home Edition

Just click "OK or "Continue" or whatever and drive on. You can install and
use it, it simply isn't "supported". That means that if something doesn't
work Microsoft has no responsibility to make it right.

I run Virtual PC on my Windows Vista Home Premium edition PC with no
problems whatsoever.

Not officially supported, but as many people here have pointed out, it
works fine.

RE: Virtual PC 2007 On Vista Home Edition

I have a software program that will not run on Vista Home Edition Premium. I
have installed the Virtual PC 2007 but I need to rum XP or Vista Business to
get the software to work on my PC. Should I install XP verison?

Thanks
