Virtual PC for all

Windows 7 is a great bit of software, the only major downside was the support for virtual PC which until now only ran on a hardware assisted virtualisation (HAV) processor and supported hardware that is also enabled in the BIOS ( like the PDC tablet I am typing this on ). However for people without this blessing virtual pc and XP mode are out of reach UNTIL NOW

Microsoft have released an update to remove the prerequisites required to run Windows Virtual PC and XP mode. The prerequisites include a processor which supports hardware assisted virtualization (HAV) which is also enabled in the BIOS. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.
