Vista + SW07 dosent work - dual boot virtual PC and xp with sw07 doesit work 4 U

I recently got a new pc with vista and tried to load sw07 pro but it
wont run.

I was reading about virtual pc from MS which is free and it will allow
one to have a dual boot machine with xp.
So I was thinking about trying virtual pc with xp and then load sw07
and run it under sw07 - has anyone tried this and was it successful?
What issues if any did or have you had with this setup?

Notes: I understand that there is a sw07 version that will allow sw07
to run with vista but I am not under support now and havent got a
price from them yet. I also want to run this on the faster new
machine with vista, and dont want to hemorage more cash to ms and sw.

 

Have you simply say you want to test it out on vista and you need the
dvd for vista 2007.
You "were" on support with 2007 (xp) so,.. you should be able to get a
Vista version of SW2007.
If they don't or won't,.. call up SW Corp and ask for the regional rep
for your area and have him/her send you a dvd!

I'm pretty sure the codes are the same?

Anyway,.. just request a copy of the dvd, you paid for it if you were
on subscription with 2007!

Since Nov '07 I've been running the SWX 2007 Vista version on a
Samsung Q70 laptop loaded with Vista Ultimate, Intel Core 2 Duo T7300,
4GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive & NVIDIA GeForce 8400M graphics card.

I didn't buy it for SWX but it's the first vista box we got in - so i
thought i'd give it a go.

I must say it works OK - graphics not up to the usual quadro standard
and real view not supported - but it works OK.

I've only used it on parts and small 20ish part assemblies and some
photoworks renders - but it's not crashed............... yet.
