'''Virtual PC 2007''' is ana x86-based hypervisor that was originally created by Connectix as a Macintosh program, and it was later ported to Windows 95/NT 4.0. Shortly afterwards, Microsoft bought the program and released [[Virtual PC 2004]], '''Virtual PC 2007''', and '''Windows Virtual PC''', the latter only working on Windows 7. Eventually it was replaced by Hyper-V. There's also a server variant of Virtual PC known as [[Virtual Server 2005]] which added an Adaptec SCSI adapter.
