Like many others in the ensuing thread discussion on TechNet, this is annoying, frustrating and, why Microsoft, WHY? Another example of Microsoft crippleware perhaps?
If you are a developer or administrator, and need a virtual OS instance to test/demo software, it's likely that you need to TEST on a 64-bit OS, as these are now the norm for any new builds.
Instead, your options for a free virtual machine that can house a 64-bit guest OS are Oracle's VirtualBox or VMWare Player. I guess Microsoft only wants you to use Virtual PC to run 32-bit Windows XP.
