If ZDnet is correct (always an "if") then the following rather limits any
value here

---
Microsoft is also making some other changes as far as virtualisation
goes. Although any Windows version can serve as the primary, or host,
operating system, only the Business and Ultimate versions of Vista can
run as guest operating systems in virtualisation. In Windows XP, each
virtual instance of the OS required a separate licence, but there were no
restrictions on which versions could act as guests.
