But XP and Vista Home are supported with the VPC2007SP1 hotfix.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958162

The Virtual PC 2007 support matrix is extended to include the
following SKUs:
Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3 (SP3)
Windows Vista Home with Service Pack1 (SP1)

These additional SKUs were not supported before this hotfix. These
Home SKUs are currently supported in this hotfix rollup. Additionally,
the following SKUs are supported as guest operating systems:
Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3 (SP3)

Re: Running Vista Virtual PC on Win 7

You are incorrect. It's the Virtual Windows XP that is only available with
Pro and higher editions.

Re: Running Vista Virtual PC on Win 7

So the new Windows Virtual PC app will install on Home Premium, you just
don't get the complementary XP VPC?

Ultimate, Professional, and Enterprise.
