    Hi,
    Microsoft doesn't support it on Home Premium but I have used it for quite
    awhile and it seems to work just fine. You will receive a warning when you
    install it that it is not supported on your operating system.

    Yes, it works ok on VHP. It's not supported, however.
    The newsgroup that discusses it is

    The Virtual PC application requires a 400 MHz Pentium-compatible processor
    (1.0 GHz or faster recommended), and requires approximately 35 MB of disk
    space. It runs on Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows
    Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition,
    Windows Vista SP1 (Enterprise, Business, Ultimate), Windows XP SP3.

    it runs in fact on any XP and Vista, if M$ likes it or not. There is also a
    hack on the net that let's run vpc07 on 2000.

    It runs on the Home editions as well but the user is informed that it is not
    supported (meaning not eligible for phone and email support from MS PSS on
    the Home editions).

    Re: Virtual PC 2007 On Vista Home Edition

    Just click "OK or "Continue" or whatever and drive on. You can install and
    use it, it simply isn't "supported". That means that if something doesn't
    work Microsoft has no responsibility to make it right.

    I run Virtual PC on my Windows Vista Home Premium edition PC with no
    problems whatsoever.

    Not officially supported, but as many people here have pointed out, it
    works fine.
