Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Service Pack 1
If you are using Virtual PC 2004 you'll be certainly intrested in the Service Pack 1
I'll use it all the time, to test something (Visual Studio Whidbey) to install different operating systems (BizTalk on a Win2003 and Development on a XP box for example) and so on, cool thing (remember the times from dual boots, swapping disks,...).
And if you ever want to return to a clean 'image' make sure you save your vhd (Virtual Machine Hard Drive Image) somewhere so a simple copy just restores your backup image.
Download it now!
I'll test it today and will post my remarks or comments over here.
Overview
Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Service Pack 1 (SP1) contains the latest software updates for Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 that improve the reliability, performance and manageability of Virtual PC. Updates have been made to improve the performance of Windows XP Service Pack 2 as a guest in Virtual PC, to improve the manageability of virtual machines when used with SMS 2003 Service Pack 1, and to provide support for running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition as the host operating system. Some of the fixes included with SP1 have been previously released as separate updates. This service pack combines them into one update.

Since installing SP1 I encounter problems when going in stand by. After restart I can no longer work with the Virtual PC, I need to stop my Virtual PC environment, Save state, Exit Virtual PC and restart Virtual PC.
