How does Vista behave if you install it on a non Vista PC under 
Virtual PC 2007? 
It does reboot during setup start-up without warning and a blank 
screen but else it's much more stable and fine. Just setting up SBS 
and some client PCs under Virtual Server on it. 
I had that rebooting thing during startup and freezing with three PCs 
(non Vista) until it turned out to be a really nasty virus despite 
running all sorts of virus checks. 
The solution was to actually take the drive out, and stick it as a 
slave in another PC with up-to date Free AVG running which actually 
detected that bugger. 
 
The only thing that still bugs me with Vista is, and I think it's a 
Vista issue, I doesn't list the databases on the SQL Server when 
trying to connect (connecting is fine) to an existing instance from 
Outlook Business Contact Manager. Checked all the SQL security, 
logins, protocols. Any idea?
