First I installed VMware on comp with Win2000, both drives c and d are fat32, but VMware made NTSC and installed win98se, than xphome, than linux, without any problems. And under win2000 I still see fat32, so I hope Virtual PC is going to do the same.

Yes, the virtual PC is just basically a file on your PC that get's mounted by the software, (much like the old Win9x compressed drives). The file system within the file can be virtually, (pardon the pun), anything you like regardles off the file system you are running your real PC on.

Sure you can =) nop there, you can even have linux working with a XP host.

You can try VMWare also for virtual PCs, I don?t know if there is other software besides VMWare and Connectix Virtual PC, but I hope so because I think they?re both very slow even in good PCs.

I totally agree with that and emulations is always gonna be slow cuz it's in a "virtual" environment. You can install all listed os's regardless of File System

I use both, for some reason I prefer VMWare, but lately I?m using Virtual PC because I?couldn?t get GUI for red hat 7.2 in VMWare.

Both are quite easy to set up and understand, with full network support ,SVGA, Drag & Drop and both are quite slow.....so it's a question of price or crack =)

from my personal experience it seems like VPC is faster with video. VMWARE is faster with disk.

VPC also has this nice feature it's something like virtual drive. you share a dir on host computer and it becomes drive letter on virtual. easy to move files around if you can't get network to work :)

i have not had much experience w/ both of them, but they both seem to perform about the same for me, but vmware iseems to be more configuable.

Please move this to software discussion
