But don't quote me on that. If I understand the documentation correctly, you would need to install Win7RC under VirtualBox. But don’t quote me on that.

Can boot into it with dual boot but would prefer to use Virtualbox. But VB gives boot error message. Is it nec. to re-install Win7rc with Virtualbox, or is there some way to get Virtualbox to access the existing VHD? Successful install of Win7rc on XP machine, in a Virtual Hard Drive.

It looks absolutely GORGEOUS-- can't wait until it's released out of beta. My first act of business: to install Firefox. :P Took ages (mostly due to the fact that I installed the 64bit system when i should’ve installed the 32bit one–oops!), but I finally got it installed.

However, with all the free anti-virus software out there, it wouldn't hurt to install it on your Windows 7 install.
