Note : in your configuration, the 2 "ServerAlias" directives are 
unnecessary.
You would only need a ServerAlias if one of the virtual servers was 
known by more than one "name".
Then you would use
  ServerName name1
  ServerAlias name2

Or, it may also be useful if your website is known under either its 
fully-qualified domain name, and also via a shorter "local" name :
  ServerName website1_com.mycompany.com
  ServerAlias website1_com

Also, if you did not care about using a single logfile for both of your 
virtual servers, you could reduce your config as follows :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    DocumentRoot "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website1_com"
    ServerName website1_com
    ServerAlias website2_com
    ErrorLog "logs/allwebsites_com-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/allwebsites_com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
