Re: virtual pc ?

Yes, it runs on XP Home.

It is not restricted to XP Pro and above.

The advisory message is telling you that XP Home is not a supported host
operating system, not whether or not it will run. Click through the
advisory message and it will install.

2007 will work as well - it is just not supported on Windows XP Home.

My suggestion, however:
VirtualBox
