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

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.

I'm a VMWare-guy myself, you might even be able to open up the VirtualPC file itself actually. – Chopper3 Jan 12 '11 at 18:29
