vpc2k4 and vpc2k7

Message:

I've been using Vpc2k4 for years. Suppose I'm not planning to use WinVista
in the near future.

1. Why should I want to use Vpc2k7 as opposed to Vpc2k4?
2. Can Vpc2k4 and Vpc2k7 be installed and run on the same machine?
3. Can Vpc2k7 run on a Win2k3 SP2 machine?
4. Unless I'm mistaken, the max size of a Vpc2k4 virtual hard disk is 16GB.
Can a Vpc2k7 VHD be bigger?

Thank you.

Both VPC2004 and VPC2007 have a maximum VHD size limit of 128GB. The
default VHD size for most OSes in VPC2004 is 16GB, DOS & Win95 default to
2GB.
The Virtual Disk Wizard allows you to create custom sized disks in VPC 2004.
The ability to change the VHD size is part of the New PC Wizard in VPC2007

Yes, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

I believe so...

In fact, have just run the VHD Wizard to check, and the maximum size of the
VHD seems to be the amount of free space on the hard disk on which you are
trying to create it... In my case, well over 160Gb...

I seem to recall that IDE hard disk controllers have (or, at least, used to
have) a maximum supported hard disk size of 127Gb, though...
