    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.
