    I personally use VMWare since my processor doesn't support HAV.

    What do you use?

    BTW: Windows Virtual PC is Win7 Pro, Ult, Ent only.
    Microsoft Virtual PC is Vista+XP

    Hi palz,

    Welcome to 7 Forums.

    I've been playing with Vbox. Just downloaded VM player the other day to give it a play. Vista runs much snappier in Player, but I don't see any way to mount a VHD (I just may not have found it yet). The nice thing about Vbox is that I can create a VHD of my system partition(s) and then boot it in Vbox. Haven't checked yet to see if workstation is capable of that.

    My personal choice is VMware and I find the VMware converter (it's a standalone installer) very useful.

    I have both installed because Virtual PC is preferred for my Microsoft Studies; but I rarely use it.

    Never actually used Workstation, but my vote goes to VMware.
