I'm thinking of buying Virtual PC but am really only interested in
running operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. Is this
likely to work?

Thanks,

Solaris will not work, but most variations of Linux and BSD will.

Keep in mind that all non-Windows OSes are unsupported by Microsoft
and that there are no Additions for Linux. So the extra features from
the Additions, shared folders, drag and drop, simple printing,
performance enhancements are not available.

Knoppix Linux (a live CD distribution) certainly worked. And I even got
BeOS working, although only with VESA graphics.
I believe that QNX worked as well, but for some reason slower than on QEMU.
