MED-V and Virtual PC

Application compatibility is one of the main reasons that enterprises cite for the inability to upgrade to the latest version of Windows. They may have an important Line of Business application that must run in Windows XP, for example, or a critical intranet site that was built to run in Internet Explorer 6. MED-V takes application compatibility off the table as a blocker because it allows enterprise customers to run legacy applications seamlessly directly from a Windows 7 desktop. This allows end users to retain the productivity benefits of a modern operating system yet still enables them to use their legacy applications.
Customers often ask about the difference between MED-V and Virtual PC. Although Virtual PC provides many of the same features to end-users, MED-V gives IT Professionals the ability to centrally manage the virtual machines. This manageability is what makes MED-V a better choice for enterprise customers.
