Windows VPC for windows 7 requires that the host machine supports
hardware virtualization (just as Hyper-V does). An instance of Windows 7
running in a virtual machine under Hyper-V cannot possibly do that, since it
is running on a virtual machine, not a physical machine with hardware
virtualization.
