MS Virtual Server 2005?

Im just getting into the VM world and want to set up a little test environment. Last time I looked at VM there was MS Virtual PC, then Virtual Server 2005...it looks like those are gone/wont support Windows 7...my question is, is there a new application you can run vhd's on an existing machine like Virtual PC, or is that gone now.

I used to use the heck out of the MS "run in on a vhd" website to practice exchange and AD stuff.

    VMWare Player is probably the best one for desktop virtualization (of the free). Virtual PC is still around. Windows 7's XP Mode uses that.

    Virtual PC is still available. Hyper-v is another option but there may be issues trying to run a VM that was created in Virtual PC/Virtual Server.

    Like Robert said, VMware Player/Workstation are the best desktop virtualization products. Virtualbox is another option although I find it to be buggy at times.
