Changes to the New Virtual Machine Wizard in Virtual PC 2007

There have been a couple of minor changes to the New Virtual Machine Wizard in Virtual PC 2007 to help address usability issues that have been identified.  The first change is to the operating system configuration page.  I have never liked this page myself, as you select an operating system and have Virtual PC perform a number of unknown actions as a result.  With Virtual PC 2007 you are now informed of what the result of your operating system selection will be:

One other minor change is that you can specify a custom virtual hard disk size if you choose to create a new virtual hard disk as part of the New Virtual Machine Wizard.

Cheers,
Ben

Would it be possible to create different types of disk from the Virtual Machine Wizard? It would be nice to create e.g a differencing disk, without having to run the disk wizard first.

Yesterday, i downloaded and installed Virtual PC 2007.  My VPC settings shows the network card. I would like to know how can I share internet on my Host (WinXP) to one of the Guest on VPC?

I donwloaded and installed VPC2K7 too, but I installed on VISTA (final). I can use internet access using NAT in WinXP Pro guest. But it didn't works in Win2003 Ent R2. Anyone had same or similar issue?
