Vista64 home premium

I experienced a lot of problems with Vista32, so I decided to load Vista64
(Home Premium). No problems with installation, nor drivers. However one of
my crucial programmes generates a Microsoft error saying that this programme
will not run under Vista64. Contact the developers. I did and they said
their programme won't run on Vista64. This is an unsatisfactory response
from them.

So I decided to install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007(64 bit), only to find that
Home Premium was not supported by Microsoft for Virtual PC. Not to worry, I
would use the upgrade I had seen in Control Panel. I tried to upgrade my
Vista, only to be told that this option is not available in Australia.
Microsoft also said to just go out and buy a different version at a retail
outlet.

I am trying to not get too angry, but for Heaven's sake Microsoft, this is
terrible.

Regards
Doug

Although Virtual PC is not "supported" on Vista Home Premium, it will run
just fine.

The license under Vista Home Premium does not support Virtual PC 2007, but
there is nothing preventing you from installing.

Hi Gary,

I took your word, and despite repeated warning that it is not supported it
is now running very well.

Thank you Gary

It has always been supported on the Vista Home Premium, its just the EULA
that forbids it, since you won't get any technical support under that
operating system if you were to call Microsoft.
