Virtual PC 2007 run on Vista64?

Was wondering if Virtual PC will run on Vista64 as a host operating System?

Yes, download the 64bit version.
Guest OSes (VMs) will can only be 32bit.

Yes it will.

There is a specific version of Virtual PC 2007 which, although a 32-bit app
itself, comes with a 64-bit virtualisation driver:

Yes. You need to download the 64-bit version of VPC. It is still a 32-bit
application but this version has the correct drivers for a 64-bit OS.
