only commercial solution if you want long term support. Can't depend on MS (Virtual PC anyone? Now MS VS?), can't depend on Oracle. These and RedHat/Novell have other product lines to distract. At least VMWare continues to support their products (patches, migration paths) and is single-minded in their focus.

Virtual PC was and always will be a desktop solution. It's what MS uses for XP mode in Vista. Virtual Server [wikipedia.org] is the big box equivalent (although I suppose it's based off VPC).

That's kinda GP's point - Virtual Server is effectively replaced by Hyper-V now.

virtual PC has nothing to do with "windows" it had everything to do with getting x-box (x86) ported to 360 (PowerPC) Windows-on-Windows (used by Vista) has nothing to do with hardware emulation, just apis.. like WINE (only with the actual windows code!)
