Does anyone know if there is a build of VMWare or Virtual PC that can be installed and run on a Vista Beta 2 computer?

VMware workstation 5.5 will only install on host PC with Windows 2000 / XP / 2003. Guest OS can be Vista x86 or x64 - I have both running.

Can I install Windows Vista in a Virtual environment and which software do you recommend? First of all, I would say Virtual PC 2004 is not a recommend choice, but persons have been successful. I recommend using VM Ware Workstation 5.5 or Virtual Server 2005 R2. VM Ware Workstation 5.5 preferrably. The more RAM you assign to the Virtual Machine, the better the experience, I recommend a minimum of 512 MBs or more. You can download the VM Ware trial here: http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/eval.html Virtual Server 2005 R2: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/software/default.mspx

You're missing the point of his question. He's not asking if he can install Vista as a guest OS in a VMWare/VirtualPC/VirtualServer, he's asking if any of those will run on Vista with Vista being the host OS.

That's not the way I read it. I read Vista installed into VMWare ("in a virtual environment")
Vista does run in VMWare Server, but without Aero Glass.

He's asking about VMWare installed and run ON a Vista Beta PC.
And not about Vista installed an run ON/IN a VMWare Virtual PC.

I suppose I should clarify this so that no one misunderstands;
I am running Vista Beta 2 on my computer right now.
I would like to have a build of either VMWare or Virtual PC that will install and run on a computer running Vista Beta 2 as the host Operating system.
I hope no one is confused.
