    Virtual Box is much better (Faster, more interactive, with better memory management)

    Best Virtual software ive used.
    So easy yet such a powerful tool.
    Easy to set up and configure
    Only issue is XP Media Centre lags inside VPC running
    on my host OS Vista Ultimate.

    RAM was set to 512MB and GFX was ok

    VPC's speed is more quickly than VMWare.
    And VPC's size is smaller than VMWare

    It's very great.

    Works great for testing software. If you want to have some fun, install WfW 3.11.
    But, add some USB support please.

    Using win9 with it. works like a charm.

    Intuitive wizard, easy connection and works well for most applications. (Oracle XE is an exception and usually throw error from ODBC source)
    While machine restored from saved state, time are not always synchronized, a reboot will fix the problem.
    Would appreciate if MS adding USB storage support.

    Awesome software. I'm on Vista 90% of the time, but I have XP running almost always in VPC. Very convienient and uses less resources than VMWare.

    For 95% of us needing to run virtual sessions, VirtualPC is a great fit. Of course, being from Microsoft, it works best with virtual sessions of Windows, etc. It's not as powerful as VMWare, but it has a lower overhead. Most of us won't ever need the advanced features of VMWare so this is just fine.

    A good, competent tool for the problem. VMWare is the only real competitor but I don't see any compelling reason to switch at the moment.

    VMWare is better. Virtual PC is fine however if you just want to run another Windows OS and not mess with the hardware.

    Overall:

    Pretty crappy. No native USB support, no real support for non-MS OSs and it glitches like crazy on network stuff.
    I would like to like it but it makes me hate it.

    Not the best by any stretch, but it does work very well for what it intends to do.
