Windows Virtual PC along with XP Mode (RC) was released yesterday for Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise and Professional users. We all know that Virtual PC 2007 didn't have the support to enable Windows Aero in guest machines because of the built-in VM virtualized graphics driver which couldn't support true GPU hardware acceleration.
