there's little difference between 2004 and 2007 aside from the different OS's that are supported in each version.
You can turn a VHD into a physical PC disk using ghost or other methods, I already mention that this VHD can be merged to a physical PC with support for most era chipsets and IDE controllers already fixed in the image.
As far as making a live CD, not with a VHD, maybe as a physcial disk, but I bet Windows dies the minute it can't access the file attributes of it's own files. Anhyhow, with virtualization working so well, I can't see much point in making a live CD.
Vmware is great for certain things and poor for others, I like the fixed virtual hardware that is emulated in VPC. I can get most things working with it, though some Linux distros simply "don't go"
It's working ok in vpc 2004 in windows 2000. It's a bit slow, but 25mb is the limit for ram. I won't try vmware as 1 emulator is enough as far as laptop speed is concerned. Thanks for making the image, how did you make it? I want to make a 98SE image from the setup disk, how isi it done?

You can download a VMC and VFD ready to go for Virtual PC from http://vpc.essjae.com/
He has done the work to get you installed with windows 98
Into a virtual machine you have created.
