If your system is Vista Compatible, but you have expensive software that is not, older legacy devices, such as scanners and pen tablets that are also not compatible, or you want to keep Windows XP around then try Microsoft’s Virtual PC 2007. You can install older versions of Windows Operating systems along with the software and legacy devices in their own virtual machine. Windows 2000, Me, 98, NT, 95, etc.
You can drag and drop files and folders between the Host and Guest machine and more. You will need an additional partition for the guest operating system, and additional resources to run all of the operating systems as one.
Virtual PC 2007 is a free download from Microsoft. A 30 megabyte download for 32 bit systems and 30 megabyte by the 64 bit systems.
