MS Virtual PC is now free
zridling:
Don't forget to add my favorite, Altiris SVS. I like VMWare, but for evaluating software, Altiris is super simple, easy, and flexible. Oh, and free.

Dammit, this looked awesome until I found out they have no version for x64 and no release date. Vista will probably be out by then and it will sort of defeat the purpose. Or maybe they'll roll it out soon.
(VirtualPC is still on the list for this month's drawing. Hopefully nobody ranked it too much higher than some of the other goodies on the list ;D)
mouser:
yeah, i have a few donated boxed copies of virtualpc from microsoft..
hmm maybe now we know why they donated them..

I'm probably soundling like a broken record by now, but...
MS Virtual Server supports x64 (as a host - not guest VMs). Functionally, it's pretty much the same as VPC (no soundcard support in the VMs), but it's not as user-friendly. Even though support is advertised for Windows Server OS's , it'll run on WinXP Pro no problem.
Also, VMware has the free VMware Server which supports x64 (even in the guest VMs if you have the right CPU - not all x64 CPUs support this).
