Doesn't virtual pc support 64 bit in a native 64 bit environment?

if your download cuts, try try try again
the windows update servers have been savagely raped today ... even a simple office HELP FILE update (10.8mb) cut at 8mb and I had to restart it (this was on an XP machine at work)

no... it only support a host 64bit enviroment to run 32bit guest...

the release notes if not read thoroughly enough would suggest 64bit support in terms of support for 64bit oses inside virtual pc.. but nay nay....
