Virtual Server and Vista
I thought I'd make a post on running Virtual Server R2 on Vista. I happened to run across the following blog entry today from one of my RSS feeds. It states you have to turn off UAC in Vista to run Virtual Server Administration Website. This isn't true. The incorrect entry is at:

I knew this was incorrect because I had just recently added Virtual Server to my Vista instance and had to go looking around for how to run the Virtual Server Admin Website. The most recent and cleanest solution came from

I also found out something about IE7 during this as well. I tried to open up a web page on another tab in the same browser instance in which I was running the Virtual Server Admin website. Since that is a trusted site it warned me that it could not open in a different tab a website with a different trust level and opened up the internet site in a completely different IE7 instance. I thought that was pretty cool.
