Virtualise existing PC Hardware.

Hello,

Please can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert a standard PC to a
VPC image? That way I can keep the images but retire the old machines. I
know you can do it using Virtual Server and also VMware. Is the
functionality available in VPC 2007? If so, how is it done?

Many Thanks

John
