I don't get it. Why did they set such limitation? Just want to know the reason. Maybe it can be hacked somehow?

  • Virtual PC version: latest Windows Virtual PC
  • Host OS: Windows 7 x64
  • Guest OS: Windows XP Professional

  • MS Virtual PC Version? Host OS Version? Virtual Guest OS Version?

The virtual machine model they use doesn't have a large enough frame buffer and the paravirtualised video driver knows this. There may be a hack but it would risk VM instability, personally I'd just pick up one of the other virtualisation solutions such as virtualbox, vmware workstation/server etc.
