Virtual PC is now free - so you can use it to build better demos and carry them with you, or run legacy OSs on a PC for compatibility reasonshttp://192.168.2.20/blogs/doverton/archive/2006/07/12/Virtual-PC-is-now-free---so-you-can-use-it-to-build-better-demos-and-carry-them-with-you--or-run-legacy-OSs-on-a-PC-for-compatibility-reasons.aspxHi guys, here at Partner Conference and one of the snippets I picked up is that Virtual PC is now a free download, following the lead Virtual Server. There are restrictions I believe, in the number of hosts, but how great is this.

What's the advantage? Before R2, Virtual Server would only run on Windows Server 2003 so the demarkation was clear, but now that R2 runs on Windows XP, I'm confused why two products are even necessary.
