    Question Is it possible to run Virtual PC in Win7 Home Premium?

    As titles suggests, is it possible to find either Virtual PC or Windows XP Mode to be installed in Win7 Home Premium, without upgrading OS?
    I need to run some programs under XP.

    It didn't work for me, actually it didn't let me to download the first file (can't pass MS check).
    Will try Sun VirtualBox, have seen some good reviews.

    Thanks guys, installing XP in the Sun VirtualBox as I type. So far so good, looks promissing.

    PS. If you have MSDN win 7 don't attempt the MS XP Mode. It will push through the unwanted change.

    The VirtualBox is doing pretty good job. XP is running fast, can capture and use all resources without any problems.
