Multiple Instances of VPC

Is there a way to launch multiple instances of MS Virtual PC?

I know you can run multiple Virtual machines, but they all appear to be run
under the same thread, so on a multi core CPU, you only ever max out one core.

I've got a lengthy process I want to break down across a couple of virtual
PCs, but unless I can run multiple instances, I can't do it.

help!

TIA.

No, sorry.

Virtual Server would work for you though as each VM gets their own
thread.
