Hyper-V is the only Microsoft virtualization system which runs 64-bit guests. Server 2008 certainly has a 32-bit version. From 2008 R2 on, the server OS will be 64-bit only.

Also It may in the new one in Windows7, but I don't have a copy to verify that. I know this new one does USB which is a "first" for VPC. -- Phillip Windell The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------

No I am not. I am saying that VirtualPC is your *replacement* for Hyper-V. You will not be running Hyper-V. If you are just wanting a way to run Server2008 as a VM,..then that is a way *assuming* that the new VirtualPC in Win7 can do 64bit OS's. If the new VirtualPC cannot do 64bit,...then you are stuck with VMWare Workstation. VMWare Player can also run it but the VM has to be created elsewhere,..the Player canon create a new VM. In a Server environment VMWare ESXi or WMWare Server are an option. Now if you are talking about buying a new Laptop for the specific purpose of running Server2008 Hyper-V on it you you can actually have Hyper-V itself, then fine,...buy it and go for it. You real goal was not clear to me. -- Phillip Windell The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------

They just finally got around to giving it USB ability. > Server 2008 certainly has a 32-bit version. From 2008 R2 on, the server > OS will be 64-bit only. Ok. Thanks for the clarification there, Bill. -- Phillip Windell The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- |
