[dba-Tech] XP Virtual Machine

Arthur,
MS has a new Virtual PC, which runs on Win7. you can download it from MS 
site free. at the same site is the "XP-Mode" which is a VPC with XP already 
installed, also free to download. you can install on the XP-Mode just like 
on an XP machine. I have just tried that. Works ok.
just google VPC for Win7 or such.
