VirtualPC was originally not an MS product, they just bought the
company which made it (Connectix).

VirtualPC for Windows is not an emulator like QPC, it's a virtual
machine. This means that the systems running within it run on the
actual CPU and not an emulated one. Only when hardware accesses are
involved does VirtualPC intervene. The advantage of this method is
that it's very fast, but it also means you can only run x86 systems on
an x86 machine.
