Use certain Virtual Server files for Virtual PC??

I saw somewhere (can't remember where, maybe here in this forum) that
the new Virtual Server product has some 'updated' files that can be
used in VPC. In fact, I know I read that if you install Virtual Server
onto the same pc/workstation that you have VPC on, it will overlay some
of these 'common' files with updated ones.

I have Virtual Server installed at work, does anyone know (1) What
these 'updated' files are? That way I could just copy and replace them
here rather than having to go thru an entire VS install. And (2) I
thought I also read that some the Virtual Server additions are better
in VS, and they also can be copied/used in VPC. Again, is this true?

And finally, does VS have a Linux addition also? Again, I thought I saw
that somewhere.

Thanks.

Tom

The shared components are explained by Ben Armstrong in his blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/06/27/432945.aspx. The
point is that when VS is installed its versions of the shared components are
the latest and therefore the one used by VPC also.

The VS additions can be installed by using the .iso to update the VPC
additions.

Linux additions are available on Microsoft Connect. They are listed under
Available Connections. Look for "Microsoft Virtual Machine Additions for
Linux."

Additional notes: By installing VS you will get both the shared components
and the VS VMAdditions (in the Microsoft Virtual Server folder). You do not
need to actually use VS, just install it.
