Now M$ has its new software offerings, I can't seem to be able to purchase Virtual PC 6.1 w/o Office?
Maybe I missed something here... but I didn't know that was the idea. 🙁

Of course Microsoft dropped older versions of Windows with virtual PC, leaving Win 2K and XP only. And it looks like they may not be selling the OS packs seperatly anymore.

It is really annoying that now we have to be forced to by the OS they want us to buy with VPC, though.
