Have you tried running Vista under VPC 2005 B2?

It's unusable.

'sfunny 'cos it runs just fine even on a lowly AMD 1400, 512Mb, 80Gb PC
- as does VPC running other OS's etc - but NOT VISTA ????

This made me smile, just a little. Considering you were demoing Vista
at Connect '06 (I believe), I'd be pretty surprised if you hadn't.

I tried Beta 2. There's no Aero drivers for my Intel 945 chipset, but
even still it looks very nice. I particularly like the IE7 security
features, i.e. the 6 (at my count) warnings that a user would notice
if someone told them to enable an unsecure feature in the security
settings.

As mentioned, it's unusable under vmware.

Laptop or desktop? Whats the make and model of the laptop and/or video
card details?

Yes under and over top of as well - it runs well - see below

Actually there is no "VPC 2005 B2"
There is Virtual Server 2005 R2 and there is Virtual PC 2004 SP1

You need to install some updated Virtual Machine additions, they will
be released and downloadable from microsoft.com RealSoonNow
