Running Virtual Server 2005 R2

Hello all

I have windows vista home premium running on a fairly powerful desktop. I would like to setup MS Virtual Server 2005 R2. I got a prompt that VS 2005 R2 cannot be installed on this version of OS. Do I have to upgrade vista to business edition?

virtual server is only for server operating systems. I believe there is a VPC thing built into either buisness or ultimate

aah so I have to install VPC on Vista and within the VPC I can install Virtual Server???
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx this could do the trick too, doesnt look like they included it in the OS i think they talked about it tho
why do you need virtual server? VPC is all thats supported in vista, it does the same thing without the web management
I need to study for exams. I would like to install 2003 and 2007 server also exchange so I need VS running on my system I don't have the hardware
both of those will run on vpc
