VPC can use USB devices if they can be mapped via standard networking e.g.
USB memory sticks, zip drives etc.

If you need true USB support, you'll need to use another virtualisation
product e.g. VMWare...

If you are a professional wanting to test software with USB device
support then I advice going from the "free" offering from various
sources and instead use a professionally supported *paid for*
solution.
VMWare Workstation 6.5 works very well with USB devices, I use it a
lot, and it can handle devices which are not storage units well like
protection dongles etc.
A professional usually can afford the small cost of a program like
that.

Or you can try another free option like Sun's VirtualBox that also
supports USB devices!

So far I only have limited time with it but the latest version 2.1.2
seems to work really nice (both in Windows and Linux).
