Horror Stories installing VirtualPC?

Any numerous horror stories installing and using VirtualPC here? I mean
does it overwhelming work fairly well and does not interfere with system
processes or cause conflicts? Or is it unstable? unpredictable and used
only if really needed?

Only so many, or so few stories as with windows themselves.

In class lab we once on XP Pro ( 1 GB RAM )
managed in VPC 3 VMs in parallel.

1 2003 server as Domain controller
1 2003 server as network router
1 XP machine as network workstation

All worked seamlessly, the only problem was,
being in full screen
to know which is which.

Virtual PC 2007 is a fairly mature application, having been in existence for
quite a few years. That's not to say that no-one ever has a problem with
it - same as any other piece of software - and that's why this newsgroup
exists...

It's used only when it's needed just like any other piece of software is
used only when it's needed - not sure what you're asking here...
