Introducing Microsoft Virtual PC 2004
This course is designed using Microsoft® Virtual PC 2004. Virtual PC is a
technology that allows a single computer to act as a host for one or more virtual
machines. The virtual machines use a set of virtual devices that might or might
not map to the physical hardware of the host computer.
The software that is installed onto the virtual machine is unmodified, full-
version, retail software that operates exactly as it does when it is installed onto
physical hardware.
The following definitions will help you with the remainder of this document:
 Virtual PC. An application from Microsoft that allows you to install and
run other operating systems. Virtual PC does not ship with this course, but it
can be acquired from your MSDN subscription, or can be purchased from a
retail outlet.
 Host computer. The physical computer onto which an operating system and
the Virtual PC application have been installed.
 Host operating system. The operating system that is running on the
physical computer.
