MS VPC 101

It has been a couple of months that I have been working with VPCs but I need to record more of what I have been learning.

The current version of Microsoft Virtual PC I am running is 6.0.156.0. The is the 2007 version of MS VPC and be down loaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx

From the Widipedia we learn that the original software was done by Connectix which sold the Virtual PC and Virtual PC product to MS. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Virtual_PC.

Here is an Wikipedia article comparing the different VPCs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines

A MSVPC consist of a setting file *.VMC and a hard drive image *.VHD.
