Default XP virtualization in Vista?
Is there a simple and free way of running XP inside Vista? I need to run just two applications in XP (IE6 and a VOIP) for work and rather not dual boot.

Is Virtual PC 2007 pretty simple with few issues? All I need XP for is to run Internet Explorer 6 for remote desktop and VOIP. I just need it up and running tonight.

Freaking MS... Can't use Virtual PC unless you have Vista Business/Ultimate, XP Pro, or Windows Server. Any other ideas?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_PC
Quote:
Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 does not support home versions of Windows.[2] Installing them in these versions will cause Virtual PC to pop-up a message that states that the configuration is not supported, although the software runs properly.
Is this true? I am trying now.
