System requirements say in can be installed on WinXP SP2, but the install isn"t so sure...

I got all excited and downloaded the new Virtual Server thingy (which
is much smaller than VMwares BTW), registered on a mile long form that
requested everything but my shoesize and finally got the installer.
And what to my wondering mouse to appear, but message that stated "I
don't belong here":

"Setup has detected you are running an
unsupported operating system [WinXPHomeDesc]
Virtual Server cannot be installed on this operating
system."

Oh what fun :o)

Any suggestions for making Virtual Server happy on my humble hard
drive?

Thanks,
Robin

Minimum Specification is Windows XP Professional SP2. From the looks of
the error message you are running XP home, so the only option is to
upgrade.

Looks like I'll be sticking with VMWare for a while.

It's true that you need IIS, but you can install that on your XP Home. Just msnsearch ;-) So, the only limitation is in this case is the fact that there is somewhere a file which contains only the text [winxphomedesc]. Cant we just change that?
