Then surely it makes even less sense for you to mention it.
Virtual PC not running: Not using memory
Virtual PC running: the interesting part of the usage is all in the guest.
The console is an irrelevent footnote.

Just to check I started VPC2007 on my XP-ProSP2 machine and it shows
up in Task Manager as using about 12 Mb of RAM. There are 14 guests in
varying states listed in the console. None is started.
12 Mb is not much considering that any guest probably needs at least
256 Mb RAM.
