Virtual PC is a desktop application that you start up when you have
logged on to the host PC. Inside this application you then start your
virtual machines. Each machine gets its own window from VPC2007 in
which you can interact with the running virtual machine just like if
you were sitting on the console of a real machine.

Virtual Server is a Windows service application with *no* user
interface when it is running. It can be set up to start virtual
machines when it starts up, which happens when the host boots.
But these virtual machines do not have any console to interact with
them, so you typically start an RDP session if you want to do some
work on the virtual machine.

Virtual Server thus is best suited to virtualize server class machines
which should run 24/7 and VPC is best suited for workstation type
machines.
But YMMV

Thanks that seems reasonably clear.

Thanks for your instructions on that.

I have to admit I didnt know there was a difference between virtual
server and virtual pc I think I just merged the two phrases together
thinking people called one thing by two different names. Im a little
confused then. I dont know what the difference is between virtual pc
and virtual server?
