TRANFER OF LICENSE for WinXP from VPC to Parallels/BootCamp?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Since Microsoft has KILLED Virtual PC for Intel, and therefore guaranteed that the product I purchased (and the included license of Windows XP) can no longer be used.

Since Microsoft is ducking out of the market, taking my money and running as it were, I think the LEAST they could do would be allow a legitimate transfer of the Windows XP License to a program that will allow me to use it on my hardware. At this point it would be either a transfer to BootCamp, Parallels, or both. VMWare is coming, so that is a future option.

Come on, Microsoft, show us you at least care and aren't leaving us in the cold. There is no reason I should ahve to pay another couple hundred bucks for a copy of Windows XP just becuase you pulled the rug out from under me and aren't going to support the product on the Intel platform.
