Googling suggest you can run VPC under XP, it's just that Microsoft doesn't support doing that. Of course, why would you want to?
Under XP Pro x64 or Server 2003, you must use VPC if you wish to run 16 bit programs (like NB) in the WOW, or DOS programs (like Xy4) in an NTVDM command shell. Moreover, there are plenty of high-end or bespoke programs that run in one environment only, like NT4.0 SP6. You can host OS/2. You can run a Linux guest under VPC 2007. There are nearly endless reasons why people need to virtualize other OSes, including all manner of software testing -- a lot easier than maintaining a warehouse-full of hardware. ----------------------------- Robert Holmgren holmgren@xxxxxxxx -----------------------------
