Host your own virtual OS with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

Screenshot_4 Nervous of upgrading your Windows XP to Windows Vista? Want to try Windows Vista before you decide to wipe Windows XP and move across to the new operating system? Either way, there's no reason why you can't install a virtual operating system, which means that you can run another copy of Windows on top of your existing Windows installation. As the operating system is virtual, you can install whatever you want and then simply re-install or scrap the virtual OS if things go wrong.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 is the latest version of their virtual operating system software. Best still, it has been released completely free of charge! You can now test and run Windows Vista in a virtual environment or, if you already have Windows Vista, run virtual operating systems on this new OS.
