Will .NET Studio run on VPC 6.1? I have a client that needs me to do some
.NET work and I need to install this. However, I don't want to crash my VPC
by doing it (I'm nervous as installing SQLServer 2000 under VPC killed VPC
and I needed to recreate the image from scratch)

Copy your VM before you do anything to it, then try .net studio, if it
crashes, delete and move your working copy back.

IIRC, there have been previous threads that indicated .net studio
works, but its slow compiling large projects.

I used VS.net 2003 EA extensively under VPC 6. It's been working fine
for my C# and .net remoting work. I don't have MSDE but I do access
SQL2K remotely and that works. I think MSDE would be workable vs. a
full SQL2K installation.

If you don't want to worry about backups install VS.net then enable an
undoable drive, try out your SQL stuff and if it bombs roll back to a
clean base image.
