Microsoft nixing official Virtual PC support for UNIX, Linux
Of course, with something like Virtual PC or VMWare, you could do the same in reverse: run instances of Windows on top of a Linux server, for example. With the next version of Virtual PC, you won't be doing that with any official support, as Microsoft has pulled official support for non-Windows OSes from Virtual PC
