Microsoft Virtual PC

In my Microsoft Admin 1 class, I used a nifty application called Microsoft Virtual PC. It gave me the ability to run the same build of Windows Server 2008 on the classroom computers as my computer at home.

I had to upgrade the ram in my home computer which runs Windows XP with Media Center Version 2002 SP3. It came with 2GB and I upgraded it to 4GB. If you do not like clicking Right Alt + Ctrl to move the mouse from Virtual PC to your desktop, I recommend installing Virtual Machine Additions from the file menu.
