AFAIK Virtual PC requires Windows XP Pro as a minimum. I have heard
that some have it working with XP Home, but this is not something which
Microsoft supports.

Message:Dave,
Virtual PC is a free download from Microsoft. Here is the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en
You'll need to install the OS on the VMs you create using it.
