Microsoft unveils Virtual PC 2007
Microsoft has released the latest version of its Virtual PC desktop virtualisation software as a free download.
Virtual PC 2007 is the first Microsoft virtualisation offering to support the hardware-based virtualisation technology that AMD and Intel have built into their processors. AMD's Pacifica and Intel's VT technology boost performance for virtual systems.
The software is also the first to run on 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista, but does not support 64-bit guest operating systems.
Virtual PC 2007 allows users to install multiple operating systems on a single physical computer.
