You clearly didnt bother looking very hard!

Click download and on the side of that page it says

"Looking for Virtual PC 2007?

Running Windows Vista or Windows XP? Learn more about Virtual PC 2007."
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir...l-pc-2007.aspx

Likewise, its second in Google Search and Virtual PC 2007 SP1 comes up first on the MS download centre when you search for "Virtual PC".

Sorry my fault regarding Virtual PC 2007, however it still does not help since this version of VPC does not work on Windows 7.

I can't recommend my customers to intall a product that is not officially supported by Microsoft. As you can see the that link, the side effects of using Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 7 may include but not limited to "wiping out VPC during Windows 7 updates" (see the comments on the blog your referenced). Also there is no guarantee it would work properly on Windows 7 final release. Note the VPC guy was testing it on Windows 7 beta.
