Virtual PC 2007 beta appears

On Tuesday, Microsoft shipped a beta version of Virtual PC 2007 to testers, providing its Virtual PC customers with the first version of the product to natively support Windows Vista. Virtual PC is a virtual machine (VM) environment in which virtual guest operating systems can run in a window under physical host operating systems.
Virtual PC 2007 is a 32-bit application, but it can run under both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows and supports only 32-bit guest OSes. It supports both Intel's and AMD's microprocessor hardware virtualization features and provides dramatically better performance than the current shipping version, Virtual PC 2004. I was told that Virtual PC 2007 will support Windows Vista's Windows Aero user interface, but the current beta only supports the Vista Basic UI.
