CongratsGOT IT!!!!!
Thanks again folks for the assist. FYI I had to start IE8 in "administrator mode," then use the direct links Sygnus21 provided. Ran the validation (which, BTW, did not give me the pop-up with the validate seal) following which, the download links for both 64 bit and x86 versions of virtual PC pop-up.
I also clicked "always download from Microsoft" on that window, so I didn't get the information bar when I hit "download."
Don't know why it was so difficult, but it's a done deal.
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
