I am running Windows 7 RC 7100, but am 'obtaining' an RTM build to run in a Virtual PC until my pre-prdered one arrives, so I can test and work on a visual style on an RTM build.

Can I run a version on my Virtual Machine, as well as my Host OS, or will that result in my credentials being banned, as it can only be used on one machine at a time.

I believe so. I've been doing it.

Sorry for posting in the wrong place - and thanks for the info, I just didn't want to break any rules...

Because the newest Virtual PC now supports glass in a virtual machine, I can do a proper theme, and have a semi-controled design environment.

It doesn't support glass. Remote Desktop does if you have the same OS/Build for the Client and Host. WVPC uses Remote Desktop to display when you enable the integration features.

You still won't be able to get glass.
