Vista - Virtual PC

I'm considering experimenting with Virtual PC. The concept is
interesting, but, what are the negatives?

I have been using VirtualPC for a couple of years now. There are no
negatives. It does what it is meant to do and does it well.

It depends on what you want to do.
The virtual PC is slower than a native PC, the emulated hardware is legacy
hardware. No graphic acceleration, no USB.

But this work fine.
You can also use VMWARE free player, or the open source virtual PC.

It works well for some tasks, poorly for others, whether or not it will work
for what you want to do we can't even begin to guess as you provided no info
on your plans.

Yes it can, no guarantee all flavors will work, but many do.

Thanks. I was thinking UBUNTO but they are all the same to me. I just
wanted to try it out without screwing up my successful Vista installation.
