Experts !

i have a machine with vista home premium and i wanted to share a folder with my colleagues

unfortunately i vista allow only 10 concurrent connections to a shared folder

one of my colleagues advised me to install a Virtual machine with windows server 2003 so that i will be able to share the folder with more than 1000 user.

another colleague stated that the kind of virtual server does not matter, what matters is the host OS, in this case vista. so the folder will be shared by no more than 10 users.

my Question is

Does Virtual Machines with Microsoft server 2003 with Host operating system Vista Home Premium suffer from Vista contraints?
