One of the “irks” I’ve had with VPCs is that sometimes I needed to urgently access content that’s inside a VPC, most of the cases, the VPCs aren’t mine as I always go native 😉 So previously, I had to first install VPC or Virtual Server on my own machine (or find one that had it) boot up the VM and copy the files. Sometimes I even have trouble doing getting that to work :S. Which is why i’m extremely happy that in Windows 7, you can go into Disk Management and “Attach VHD”.
7 will then be able to see the drive as if it were any other drive attached on your machine. (Notice that your virtual hard drives appear in a bright bluish color so you can distinguish it from your ordinary drives) Also, in one of the Keynotes at PDC, I believe I remember hearing that you should be able to boot natively into a VHD that you’ve attached. I think that is just AWESOME.

I’m SO looking forward to 7 Beta. 🙂
