Virtual PC 2006 x64

How come VPC2007x64 installs under the x32 folder ? does it mean the app is
32bit ? as theres already a separate x32 version of VPC2007 already ? whats
really going on here ?

VPC2007 x64 is indeed a 32-bit app, but the drivers included with the
x64 installer version are x64. There is not full 64 bit version of
VPC.

Re: Virtual PC 2006 x64

To take advantage of more than 4G for one VM you'd need one that
supports x64 guests, VMWare has support there as does Microsoft's
Hyper-V.

If you're talking just multiple 32-bit guests, Virtual Server x64
version would handle it well, it's pure 64-bit for the host.

I don't what products run on XP x64 though, I don't have experience
with it.
