Works great on Vista SP1 VPC 2007, but the only issue is you cannot see the aero functions because of the video driver fro the VPC.

While Windows 7 will run on a Virtual PC (I use VMware Workstation) the downside is the fact that, because VMs use 'virtual video drivers' the 'eye candy' isn't displayed - for example Aero. So while, yes, you can use a VM to test Windows 7 the look and feel of the operating system will appear just like 'classic' Vista.John Barnett - Windows XP Associate Expert; Windows Desktop Experience. - Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org

Rumor has it that VMWare is working on hardware acceleration support for their next major version.Although that doesn't do us any good in the here and now.
