What is Virtual PC ?

Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer. Use virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows, and OS/2. You can run multiple operating systems at once on a single physical computer and switch between them as easily as switching applications—instantly, with a mouse click. Virtual PC is perfect for any scenario in which you need to support multiple operating systems, whether you use it for tech support, legacy application support, training, or just for consolidating physical computers.

yes you can very well do that .. I do that all the time for my training.. you can call to your client from the guest operating system using SKYPE or some other tool and then share the Virtual PC using Web Meeting .. to show your desktop
