The OP could use VMWare Workstation free for 30 days,
create his virtual machine, and then continue using the vm with
the VMWare player. Or, he could spend some bucks and just buy
VMWare Workstation, which is far superior to any Microsoft
virtualization products. VPC 2007 is good, but even the free
VMWare Player is better at running virtual machines than VPC 2007.

If the user really wants the best, investing in VMWare Workstation
would be the smart thing to do.
