I just recently installed OpenSUSE on MS VirtualPC2007 and it was working fine. I recall reading somewhere that the main problem was that Linux runs at 24bit colour depth, and this was causing MSVPC to "garble" the display.

Depending on what kind of machine you have, MSVPC takes very little resources. A few spikes in CPU usage while the virtual machine starts up, but after that, nothing too intense. The only thing I dislike about MS Virtual PC is the fact that you can't change the emulated graphics card. I suppose this is normal and to be expected, but I'd like to at least see two or three options.

Oh well... I guess a Virtual Machine is not really the place to test DirectX development in any case.
