1. If I install Vista on it, is there difference from installing Vista on
Virtual PC 2007 ?
2. I setup several servers on it as a TEST system. I need to access diferent
servers back and forth. Every time, I press right-Alt to get out, click on
the server I need to access and logon. Is there a way to remote loging on
process? I tried to use blank password on host machine but did not work. BTW.
the host machine is standalone (not in the domain).

1. There are a number of differences, not limited to sound card emulation
(or not), SCSI support (or not), number of CD-ROM drives, differences in how
you interact between the host and the guest (shared folders,copy-and-paste,
etc)...the list goes on and on.

Here's a great post with a little more detail from last year by Jeff Woolsey

2. I'm not sure I understood this question, but have a look at SCVMM for
managing your guests...

The "right-Alt to get out" sounds like you haven't installed the virtual
machine additions in your guest OSes.

Ryan,

I followed steps in the link of "Install Virtual Machine Additions" and did
not see The Virtual Machine Additions installation wizard started after Step
9: Click in the Remote Control window to return to the guest operating
system. Any suggestion?

Sorry about typo in last post. I meant "Is there a way to REMOVE loging on
process?" (no logon to switch between servers)

Hey Ian,

I can recommend using this tool here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

It will make your life easier regarding management of VS 2005 at least.

Is it ok if to install VMRCplus after 'Virtual Machine Additions" has been
installed? Thanks.

VMRCPlus is installed on a host not the guest.

It can be installed on your desktop machine and using the Run As should give
you prober credentials to manage your Virtual Host and Machines.
