Nick White at Microsoft’s Windows Vista Team Blog has the Virtual PC 2007 news:
Virtual PC 2007 Beta is now available as a free download from connect.microsoft.com. Virtual PC 2007 is optimized to work well for Windows Vista as both the host and guest OS. This version works with both 32-bit Vista and 64-bit Vista as the host operating system as well as Windows XP and has improved performance including support for hardware virtualization technologies from AMD and Intel.

You are out of luck on Virtual PC 2007 unless you upgrade to Vista Ultimate. There are a number of “business” features which Microsoft will only provide on a “home” version of Vista when you upgrade to Ultimate. Another is Remote Desktop.
