Virtual PC is an emulation suite for Apple Mac OS X, and a virtualization suite for Microsoft Windows operating systems. The software was originally written by Connectix, and was subsequently acquired by Microsoft.

Virtual PC emulates a standard PC and its associated hardware. Thus, it can be used to run nearly all operating systems available for the PC. However, issues can arise when trying to install uncommon operating systems that have not been specifically targeted in the development of Virtual PC.

Funny how VMWare made VMWare server free when Microsoft released Virtual PC for free eh?

VMWare's player has actually been free for a while, you just needed to find the blank OS image to get it up and running.

To be honest with ya, when VPC was owned by Connectix it was alright, and it supported Linux. When MS bought it, all Linux support vanished (although I had it running on it a few times, it was better than VMWare in some respects). So, VMWare > VPC.
