Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 allows you to create and manage virtual machines with their own operating systems on one computer. This allows you to run different operating systems on a single computer.
Virtual PC saves time and money. It allows you to keep legacy and custom applications compatible with new operating systems. This also increases efficiency in support, development, training and maintenance staff. These scenarios are just a few examples:
Safety net for OS migration
Virtual PC offers IT professionals a cost-effective safety network for certain employees that allows them to run legacy applications on an interim basis, while IT Pros continue their migration plan to a new operating system. Microsoft operating systems and applications that run on VPC virtual machines receive full support in compliance with the MS product lifecycle guidelines. Windows XP Pro deployments are able to continue as planned, even if there are unanticipated issues with application compatibility. This allows Microsoft customers to benefit from the ROI and productivity gains that more current operating systems offer.
