If you thought it was cool when Microsoft began giving away free downloads of VirtualPC 2004 last year, check this out. VirtualPC 2007 has been released. And it's also free.

- Windows Server 2003
- Windows Vista Business, Vista Enterprise, and Vista Ultimate
- Windows XP Professional, XP Professional x64 and XP Tablet PC edition

I installed Virtual PC 2007 on my XP Media Center Edition 2005 PC and it killed my networking/internet, uninstalling didn't fix it nor did going back to a restore point. Now I’ll have to spend most of tomorrow morning fixing my system.
