RE: VPC on Vista x64 - trying to install XP x64

I might have found my answer, but can anyone confirm this:

Virtual PC 2007 does not support x64 Guest Operating Systems.
You can install Virtual PC 2007 (the application itself) on x86 and x64, but
cannot install a x64 Guest OS.

Anyone know if this is correct?

Thanks
