Microsoft's next-generation client operating system, a Microsoft spokesperson told TG Daily this afternoon that Virtual PC Express, a feature of Microsoft's new Enterprise and Ultimate versions, will be designed to run older editions of Windows as a subsystem.

Microsoft's burgeoning line of virtualization software, which currently includes Virtual PC 2004 and Virtual Server 2005 R2, provides a complete software-based PC environment, complete with AMI BIOS, to any guest operating system. Windows, of course, works fine, but a user could also install Linux or UNIX; and apparently Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate will also feature subsystem capabilities for UNIX software." }-
