I installed XP on my Vista system with VirtualPC,,and find that it does not work as well
as the Virtual PC 6 on a MAC system.

I work in french. The keyboard is unable to send characters such as \, ±,@,¢,¤, etc.
(all accessible by using the alt key plus the one of the upper row buttons.
I have to use CHARMAP, locate the symbol and copy it.

No such problem with XP on a MAC with VPC 6.

I hope MS fixes that problem.

Have you tried changing the host key from the AltGR to a different
one? The right Alt key is the default host key in VPC 2007,

I the VPC2007 console go to the menu File/Options.
Click on the line "Keyboard"
Change the host key in the right pane

I have set mine to the § key (upper leftmost key), which I never use
for other things.
