Why each option
Windows Virtual PC (the standalone version released for older Windows editions) was designed to operate on Windows XP SP3 as a supported host operating system.
Windows Vista Standard is not listed as a supported host edition for Virtual PC 2007; only Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate were supported.
Windows Server 2008 uses Hyper-V as its native hypervisor and is not the intended host for the desktop-focused Windows Virtual PC product.
Virtual PC 2007, the predecessor tool to the Windows 7-integrated Windows Virtual PC, officially supported Windows XP SP3 as a host OS, allowing users to create and run virtual machines on that platform. Windows XP SP3 met the minimum hardware and software requirements specified by Microsoft for that virtualization product.
Linux is not a supported host OS for any Microsoft Virtual PC product.
