support for server os's under XP Mode
While I just encountered the frustrations of trying to get this to work, there are some other issues as well. There *appears* to be no "support" for server OS's, but after emailing some friends, it appears that people are able to run Server 2008 under this. You would never know that from the MS site, which assumes you will run HyperV to do this. I would much rather continue to use my desktop for Win7 for 'daily' activities, and then run various server versions for test on it, rather than start with Server & VM into W7. And being forced to *upgrade* to Ultimate simply to run a VM is really agravating. Why not just charge for VPC? It seems that it would just make sense to spend the $200 for VMWare rather than W7Ult?
