On my more recent install, it does.
I agree! Bruce is better off buying Win 7 and seeing if it does what he is after before trying to install a Virtual Machine and running things that way. Also, from what I know the Win 7 dvd has each version on it like the Vista dvd has. Although, I am not sure of this because my laptop already had Win 7 professional on it and it didn't come with the operating system disks.
