You better have a monster machine on which to run this: Microsoft has released a new Business Intelligence sample VPC. The .vmc is set to use 1GB when you first install it, I would recommend bumping to 1.5GB - I tried 2GB and it was a still sluggish on my laptop. Might want to throw it on a spare server if you have one.
It is a big download, but definitely worth it if you want to have a VPC available for "playing around" with any of the Microsoft BI tools without having to go through the trouble of deploying MOSS, etc. on a VPC.
Download Part 1 (3.5GB)
Download Part 2 (1GB)

How do I configure the VPC to a Windows 2008?
Bobby - not sure 100% what you are asking, but if you want to configure the VPC with the Hyper-V built into Windows 2008, I suspect that you can just snag the .VHD file from the Microsoft BI Demo VPC and build a new Hyper-V VPC using it as the base.
I downloaded it but don't see the SharePoint Designer 2007 in it. How do I access it in this VPC?
Can I use the VPC from my VISTA Home Premium ?
I imagine that you can use this VPC on Vista Home Premium by installing Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and then running the VPC.
Can I install it in windows xp sp2?
