<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx>Just install it, run it and install the apps you want it in. They are automatically published in your W7 apps list. "Close" the VM (it gets closed in kind of a hibernation mode. You can just click on the icon in the W7 and it just runs. You don't even have to start the VM (it's starts invisible in the background) Corneliu.
