VPC 2007 & Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 (32 bit)

I'm just about to try this on a Vista host. Will it work ok?

 

Works fine here. Of course, when I installed it, it was still called
Longhorn Beta 3.

Just to update this, after my previous response, I downloaded the latest
beta from Microsoft's Beta Central and installed it to a VPC 2007 machine.
No problem. The only difficulty is that it doesn't recognize the emulated
sound card. From what I read here, that's pretty much as expected: VPC
emulates a SB16 and Vista-type OSes don't support that (ISA bus not
supported).

Have just tried it but don't seem to be able to get networking (I have
installed additions). I fiddled around somewhat to no avail. Any pointers?

 

Networking seems to have a random element to it in my VPCs. I like to keep
the VPC Settings for Networking set to "Shared Networking (NAT)." Sometimes
that works, sometimes it doesn't. In this case, I just set it to my real
adapter and everything worked fine. Make sure that VPC didn't default to
something like "Local Only" or Not Connected."

Well I tried the basics and then some... loopback adaptors bridged to my
wireless connection, and still didn't work.

However I noticed I could install wireless support in WS2008 so I did that
and was able to get it using my wireless card alongside Vista ;-)

Only thing I'd like to sort now is the sound...
