It seems like the new virtual pc for windows 7 for enabling the windows xp mode is for windows 7 only.

What I wanted to know is, can I install my own virtual machines or will this version of virtual pc only runs the XP for the XP mode.

I'm not interested in the XP mode as I am in running my own virtual machines.

Also, if I do install the XP mode virtual machine, can I actually run it like a normal virtual pc XP install or is it only for XP mode applications?

Thanks.

You go to "%UserProfile%\Virtual Machines" and click the "Create virtual machine button"

Then you right click your newly created virtual machine (*.vmcx) to get into the settings, mount your iso, change network adapters, undo disk and other stuff

Edit: I managed to install Ubuntu few weeks back but could not get the mouse and keyboard to work
