Can’t use Windows Virtual PC for SharePoint 2010 Server

Don’t bother trying to use Windows Virtual PC for implementing a Windows 2008 + SharePoint 2010 development virtual environment.  It turns out that Windows Virtual PC does not support 64 bit virtual operating systems [1] and only runs 32 bit OS’s.
