applications.

Yes, http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ works just fine on Windows XP x64.

However, given that, DosBox is a little bit primitive. But, Dos16 apps
(all 2 that I tried) work just fine.

It appears you took the original post out of context.

The OP referred to VPC 2004, not VPC 2007, in a relatively
old post.

Taking things out of context is like false advertising!

Why not? VPC 2007 runs on x64 hosts, both XP Pro x64 and Vista x64.

But people should also read the system requirements on the
Microsoft web page:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir...n/sysreqs.mspx

Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 System Requirements
Published: November 10, 2003

VPC 2004 came out a little while before x64.
