    You might have a look through this for some clues maybe.

    It is because Virtual PC only supports XP, Vista, and 7. If you want to run Mint Mate, you will need a alternative like VirtualBox and VMWare.

    Not true - VPC 2007 will support many more OS's than that.
    However, Windows Virtual PC may not (I've never tried) - you can, however install VPS 2007 into Win7, and it should work fine.

    I was referring to the new Virtual PC. Download Windows Virtual PC from Official Microsoft Download Center Look under details.

    Yes and no. If you somehow have a key, you could activate it. But if not, you could just reset it every month.

    edit after looking for this VPC/VPS? 2007 lol let u know
    If you're referring to XP Mode in Windows Virtual PC, then it is pre-activated - but will still require periodic validation.

    Why not just run it off a flash drive.

    That`s all I do with Mint
