You are correct.  It actually does a pretty good job. I use VPC for
the (thankfully) very occasional time someone sends me a @*(@*! Word
doc.  I've also gotten Linux (SuSE 7.something) and Oracle (8.1.7)
working under Virtual PC.  Granted, you won't be able to use it for
twitch-games; but for office-productivity and most vertical apps, it
should work well.
