If your host is Vista with Aero, you can connect to your Vista VM via
RDP and have Aero in the VM.

It does here, can you describe your setup? Is Aero enabled on the
host?

One thing is I think you have to set the "Experience" to LAN...

Yes. Ultimate 64 bit, Core 2 Quad, 4 GB RAM, 512 MB Radeon 2600 Pro video
card.

It is. I get Vista Basic this way. All of the options are checked on the
Experience tab also.

One thing I just thought of. My VM is Business. Does that even have
Aero?

sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
If you use the Remote Admin tools from the server admin packs it
doesn't work.
