Anyone running all the versions - And virtual machines

Are any of you running all the versions of Vista RTM?

On two computers, I'm running:

VU64
VU32
VBus32
VBasic32
Server200332

I use Server 2003 as a base OS on one of them and ran bootpart. Now each
thinks it's on a primary partition [c:] and I can boot to any of them.

I'm also wondering about virutal machines. Does Vista support Virtual PC
2004 and does Virtual PC 2004 support Vista either "offically" or
"actuality" [e.g. although VPC2004 isn't offically support on Sever 2003, it
seems to run without issues]?

I've (re)installed VistaU about four times now and VBus two or three times
and will be doing it again today. I already noticed one little "bug" in the
install routine last time and want to go through the install process again.

Thanks

I have VirtualPC 2007 beta (free to everyone) installed and it works fine.
Running Vista on Vista works OK.

There is no edition of VPC that officially supports Vista yet. Vista will
be supported officially on VPC 2007 when it releases in a couple of months.

As Richard says, VPC 2007 beta is your best bet. I would not use VPC 2004
SP1. VPC 2007 beta virtual machine additions support Vista very nicely now.

I have run all four editions of Vista x86 on VPC 2007 beta without incident.
However, I have run MSDN licenses only. The EULAs for Home Basic and Home
Premium do not permit using the retail licenses in a virtual machine.

Same here. I have installed all versions of Vista under VirtualPC 2007, just
to jet a handle on the differences.
