How to create a virtual of Windows XP for Windows 7
We have an old XP computer that has a lot of complicated programs installed on it, but the hardware itself is starting to show signs of age.
We would like to create a virtual of it and run it as a virtual on a new Windows 7 machine.
We're familiar with VMWare Desktop (that's free), and the VMWare utility to let's you create a virtual machine from a running machine.
What's the best way (free way?) to create a virtual of this old XP and run it in a virtual environment on a new Windows 7 box?

Does VirtualBox allow us to creat the virtual of the XP or just to RUN the virtual we may have created using the VMWare converter?
Now, about licensing (my favorite subject!) - how can we get a different license for this existing XP so that we CAN convert it to a VM?
