In addition to what you viewed on the video shown on the previous
slide, Virtual PC can be used to run virtually (no pun intended )
any Microsoft OS. This document is intended to show you how and as
a requirement for preparing your Virtual Environment to use with
your Lab Assignments.
Lets Get Started
To begin create a folder in your my document folder called My
Virtual Machines and another folder called Downloads, these will be
used for the rest of the installation (please note that the
directory structure here and in future slides can be designed per
your preference and this document contains only
suggestions.)

Microsoft Virtual PC Machines and if you have Sun Virtual Box
