There are a few basic issues with getting Ubuntu 7.10 working inside Virtual PC.

1. The default display color settings use a higher color depth than Virtual PC supports
2. Ubuntu has a hard time recognizing the emulated Virtual PC mouse
3. Networking does not work initially
4. Time syncronization with the host can be a little off.
5. Soundcard does not work initially
6. The ubuntu splash screen “usplash” causes problems when shutting down/restarting.
