Virtualising Windows 7 Beta? -

I have legally downloaded Windows 7 Beta 32 bit edition and have got license keys. I am interested in virtualising it on my computer (modern Vista Premium Compatible) and was wondering what program to use (e.g. MS Virtual PC or VirtualBox). Thank you

I hear that virtual box is really good, but i ve never used it. My friends use virtualbox and are quite pleased with their results.

@David Windows Beta is free -- you can grab it off from the MS website. The 32 Bit ISO is about 2.3 gigs in size. For keys, just use TQ32R-WFBDM-GFHD2-QGVMH-3P9GC (Microsoft is giving out duplicate keys now. Which means the key I gave will work for multiple uses). I also vote for VMware. Have it nicely running on my Vista machine.

I havent seen it actually done yet, however I ve always found VMware Server (freeware) to be a very easy to use virtual pc software utility. As before VMware Server is freeware!! Hope this helps, David ps - by the way, how much did it cost and what size is the file?
