[17:58] - What is purpose of 100MB partition with Windows 7.

if you setup the partitions with a 3rd party tool and run the Windows 7 setup and don't change the disk setting, the 100MB (350MB in Win8) partition is no longer created.

[18:36] - XP Mode and Windows 8.

Taken from the VPC FAQ:

"Is Windows Virtual PC supported on Windows 8?

Windows Virtual PC will not be supported on Windows 8. Client Hyper-V is Microsoft's offering for operating system virtualization on Windows 8.
