I remember it had something to do with the end user aggreement that the home editions may only be run in non-virtualized environments.
Maybe a request from Steve Jobs?

Well apart from the warning messages saying "this version of Windows is not supported by VPC 2007" I was able to successfully install VPC 2007 on Vista Home Premium.
Apparently VHP isn't "officially" supported by VPC 2007, but it still lets you install it anyway. I'm now happily running XP Pro under Vista without any problems.
I'd still like to hear some reasoning about this though, and will I be able to use the final release of VPC 2007 on VHP (the beta expires end of next month)?

WOOH! WOOH!

I'm not a EULA wizard, so I can't decipher the language any better than you. Take my post with a grain of salt. But there is a difference between "unsupported" and "disallowed".
From the snippet you posted, it sounds just unsupported. Tech support will not answer any questions on it, you will not get bug fixes for free, etc. If it works, you can to do it.
Boot camp is unsupported by Apple, all that means it you cannot ask people at the Genius bar to help you set it up and fix any problems that happen.
There's no limitation keeping you from running it, unless you refuse to run unsupported configurations. This is the case for many business environments which would not be running the home SKU anyways.
VPC 2007 final version is available! Can anyone confirm install VHP?

I wanted to install Virtual PC 2007 on my laptop so I could run XP because OSU is completely stupid and doesn't support remote printing in Vista, and I was ungratefully surprised that Vista Home Premium wasn't supported.
VPC does install on Home Premium, but keeps popping up an "your operating system is unsupported blah blah blah" messages.
I have windows vista home premium. I was able to install virtual pc 2007 just as you were though I am not able to install windows xp in the virtual environment. The following error message is what I keep receiving:
first it loads saying:
client MAC ADDR: [numbers] GUID: [more numbers]
DHCP..-
then after a while it comes up with a boot error message:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device_
do you have any solutions?

You need to install an operating system on the guest machine. You'll need the XP disk - put it in your computer and then tell the window to use it - then restart the Virtual PC box. You'll need to go through the installation procedure, but you'll only need to do so once.d8niel said:I've got the same setup/prob as bakerchbakerch said:*snip*
anybody have any ideas?

How am i supposed to code with theeeeeese ?
I was installing a win7 vm today and came across the same issue, it just wouldn't read/boot from my disc. I created an ISO from the dvd then told VPC to use that to boot/install from and it was fine then.d8niel said:I've got the same setup/prob as bakerchbakerch said:*snip*
