Save time and money as Virtual PC allows you to maintain the compatibility of legacy and custom applications during migration to new operating systems and increases the efficiency of support, development, and training staffs. With Microsoft® Virtual PC 2007, you can create and run one or more virtual machines, each with its own operating system, on a single computer. This provides you with the flexibility to use different operating systems on one physical computer.

edit: The source link worked fine for me, but I changed it just in case it wasn't working for others.
(Except if for any tremendously casual reason you don't need to access external hardware.)
"Virtual PC has detected an invalid or missing Product ID"..." A valid product ID is required to operate virtual pc. please re-run the virtual pc installer and enter a valid product id when requested"... um? it never asked for a PID to start with when I install it..
Any number in PID format seems to work. You could use the one from your Windows installation (General tab, System Properties; run "control sysdm.cpl" to show).

Supported != Required.
XP Home Edition is not supported, but it does work on it.
