Nope. Microsoft Virtual PC is it. You'll also need to purchase a copy of Windows (unless you get the copy of VPC that comes with Windows).

I don't know what other OS would have Virtual PC. Is there a Linux version?

What I would like to know is if VMWARE is going to be ported to OS X now that it can run on X86 cpu's. I would think that it would be easy for them to get it to run as a guest OS, but I am hoping they might port it to run on the host OS. And Vmware has a free version now which is pretty damn cool.

Virtual PC is a microsoft product. Microsoft won't acknowledge the existence of Linux.

There are a couple different virtual machine packages on Linux but VMWare is hands down the best one.

I am thoroughly mystified by this comment. Why would Windows need Virtual PC?!?
