This is a process limitation with Windows. It still impacts W7.

I not understand your answer because i think x64 architecture have no process limit. I can start only two machines in the same time, one with 512 MB and second with 1024 MB. My computer run with Windows 7 Buld 7201 X64 with 6GIG RAM. I have 2.5 GIG free after start these VM. My friend talkink about it and he can start more virtual machine. What is the process limit you talking ?

Thanks

Drop this in google This is a process limitation with Windows 64 bit and you can learn more about process limits.

Now it may be that the Windows 7RC has even more restrictions while it is still being made ready for public release. I would suggest that you wait until the final version is out before using it on a production/home system. We can not support it here ourselves due to the nature of beta and the fact that everyone is still trying to catchup with drivers, loading issues, Etc. I have read that they have one (home users version) that will only allow you to open 3 programs period. So I hope you can see that it may be a bit before it is all worked out.
