Message:You install the guest os just the same way as you would on a physical
computer. After you create the virtual machine you capture your Windows
installation disk with the cd drive in the guest and reboot. Windows will
install in exactly the same way it does on any computer.
When you install VPC 2007 SP1 on your Vista Home Premium host you will get
an advisory message that VPC is not supported on your operating system.
That does not mean it doesn't run (it runs fine). It merely means that MS
does not give phone and email support for VPC on the home editions of
Windows (MS only supports VPC on business editions). When you click through
that message the software will install just fine.

The host OS doesn't matter too much.
