Here's something. I managed to install a very old version of Virtual PC before it became Microsoft Virtual PC. This is Connectix Virtual PC from Innotek. Watch how well it installed and see how I create virtual machines. In particular, I set up a virtual DOS machine. It was merely for demonstration as OS/2 is more than capable of running DOS programs and games. This is actually an OS/2 guest on my machine running its own virtual machine. In order to run a virtual machine within a VirtualBox machine, ensure that 'Nested Paging' is enabled. I will do more with Virtual PC on OS/2 in later videos.
I also increased the RAM of the OS/2 guest it was running in to 1GB.
This version of Virtual PC is 5.0, from 2002. Microsoft released their own versions: Virtual PC 2004, and then 2007. Then it became Windows Virtual PC in 2009. It was then succeeded by Hyper-V: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-V
