VPC, otherwise known as VirtualPC, is a small virtualization software provided by Microsoft(MS) for free. It’s an easy-to-use program that I came across in my MCITP class, and recommended by both the MS textbook and instructor. VPC is useful for future techs who plan on becoming certified and don’t quite have the expensive PC specs of today’s ever-growing tech industry; as you can tell by now, I am one of those future techs.
