Hi,

What would be the best way to run up some VHD's that have been copied from a Hyper-V enviroment, on a Windows 7 workstation? We could use something like Oracle Virtual Box, but is there something like the good old Virtual PC tool that MS used to have? We don't want to use and VMWare products. There must be something that lets you do this... Any ideas?

Cheers

PT

I have Windows Virtual PC running on Win7 but I'm not sure where I got it. I know at one point I setup the XP on Win7 thing which uses Virtual PC. But frankly, I find VirtualBox just as easier to use, if not more so.
