Virtual PC started off originally as an x86 emulator for PowerPC Macintosh to run MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. Connectix, the company that made it, was purchased by Microsoft. Virtual PC was then retooled into a virtualization tool for x86 systems. Microsoft discontinued Virtual PC in favor of a server-oriented virtualization product called Hyper-V.
On the desktop, Virtual PC competed with VMWare and featured better compatibility with a wider array of guest operating system.
Requires 32-bit or 64-bit Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista as host system. A 64-bit host system can virtualize both 32 and 64-bit guests.
