VMWare a great way to run any Windows
"It's a great way to try out Longhorn," Heck, VMWare, on a Linux host, is a great way to run any windows version.

When Windows crashes, or is hosed by a service pack, it only takes a few minutes to have a new copy of the virtual machine running again. We do all our Windows testing this way.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use Virtual PC, since it will now only run on a Windows host. Kind of defeats the purpose when your host is the weak link in the equation.
