Desktop Virtualization XP

Is there a way to virtualize XP at the desktop? My organization has one piece of semi-legacy software it wants to deploy that will not run on Vista.

Try Windows 7?

Windows 7 is supposed to feature an XP SP3 'virtualization sandbox' thing, no? Try going to eweek.com and searching on 'Windows 7 XP virtual.'

W7 later or Virtualbox now

Windows 7 has a virtual mode that will run XP (I have not tried it yet). Also take a look at Sun's (Oracle now I guess) VirtualBox which has a big user community, lots of features and should be able to do what you are looking for
