Vista - Virtual Server inside Virtual PC

I tried searching this newsgroup, Google, and MS ... didn't find info ...

I have Virtual PC installed on a host WinXP (SP2) OS, and another Windows XP
(SP2) OS installed as a virtual machine.

According to what I found, Windows XP (SP?2) can be used as a non-production
host OS for an installation of Virtual Server 2005 R2. After installing the
IIS component(s) in the virtual WinXP, I was able to install the Virtual
Server 2005 R2 "app".

When I use the web-based interface, it claims the Virtual Server service
starts, then shuts down. When I tried using the Admin tools on the virtual
WinXP, and tried manually starting the Virtual Server service, it stars,
then shuts down. From what I'm seeing on the web-interface for Virtual
Server, that service MUST be running.

Any hints?

(or is this a no-no? I wasn't able to find any admonitions against doing,
but ...)

And as soon as we talk about VT technology it is also impossible. The
host must be running on the bare metal PC.

But if you have VPC2007 and want to experiment with Virtual Server
then by all means install it also. They work just fine together.
