Maybe not legally but physically the XP Pro CD works just fine on a real PC
or under a Virtualized PC. I tried both but didn't activate it just to
verify that it was truly a full XP install CD.

Well with my VPC 6 XP Pro package it came with a XP CD with license number
besides the Mac VPC install disk. So yes you can use the XP that came with
your VPC package as long as you are not running the old product anymore.
Which if you have an Intel Mac then you can not anyway.
If you bought "Virtual PC Windows XP", then that version of Windows XP
can *ONLY* be used with Virtual PC. You can not use it with any other
computer or emulation / virtualisation system.
If you bought "Virtual PC (no OS)" and a SEPARATE copy of Windows XP
(which may have been a special store bundle deal), then you can use
that version however you want.
