That's because Longhorn is newer, You can't install Virtual PC 2007 Additions on NT5, One of the reasons is because it uses an MSI installer which wasn't introduced until NT4 SP5 (I think it was SP5, Correct me if i'm wrong), Which is newer than most NT5 Builds, One way to get around that is to use the Additions from Virtual PC 2004, Which uses InstallShield (or something like that) rather than MSI
That is correct. That's the same reason why 2007 also won't work with 95, but 2004 will... Also, Whistler's MSI seems to have problems as well.
