It's been a while since I needed to use Virtual Machines - they used to be a big part of my life, and suddenly they are again. I really feel the need to congratulate the Windows team on the new Virtual PC and XP Mode options in Windows 7 - what a truly superb job they've done.
One minor gotcha was trying to read an existing VM though - to enable the integration capabilities (so your VM can see the host machine and the internet), the VM starts asking for device drivers for USB (this being some of the clever stuff the new version has added). Where are those going to come from? Your Windows XP disc of course. How are you going to read that without the integration capabilities working? You ain't.
Unless someone knows better? Holler if you do...
