Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

Microsoft Virtual PC is a powerful tool that allows users to run multiple Windows operating systems simultaneously on their computer. Whether you need to diagnose hardware problems or test new software, this virtual operating system emulator provides a flexible and expansive Windows environment.

With Microsoft Virtual PC, you can easily switch between different operating systems with just a single click. The two main systems are referred to as the "host" and "guest" systems. The guest system supports most productivity applications, so you can run common programs like Adobe Acrobat or Windows Media Player without any issues.

This bundle has a file size of 31.6 megabytes and is designed to be used with the Windows 7 operating system. However, please note that it is not compatible with Windows 7 Professional or Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1.

To install Microsoft Virtual PC, it is recommended to have at least two gigabytes of RAM and a minimum of 20 megabytes of hard disk space. If you're looking for alternative applications, you can also consider downloading VMWare Player or VirtualBox.

Virtual PC allows you to create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer. You can run multiple operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows, and OS/2 simultaneously on a single physical computer and switch between them as easily as switching applications.

Configuring Virtual PC is simple and it offers various settings to customize the product's interaction with the physical computer and resource allocation. The installation process is easy and doesn't require a reboot.

Virtual PC is perfect for scenarios where you need to support multiple operating systems, whether it's for tech support, legacy application support, training, or consolidating physical computers. It allows you to configure and test upgrades and installations on virtual machines before deploying a standardized configuration throughout your company.

Users can switch between operating systems effortlessly by clicking on the virtual machine window. They can also pause individual virtual machines to save CPU cycles on the physical computer and save virtual machines to disk for later restoration, which is much faster than restarting the guest operating system.

Virtual PC also provides host integration, allowing users to copy, paste, drag, and drop between the guest and host systems. This functionality can be enabled by installing additions in the guest operating system.
