Well, I've heard that the latest version of Microsoft Virtual PC emulates a machine with WinXP SP3, but it's supposed to run on the new generation OS's (I think the latest version of Vritual PC runs solely on Windows 7).

IIRC you can simply upgrade WinXP SP1 to SP3 at Microsoft's tech support website, but I remember it didn't work out well for me as everything slowed down drastically on my PC after the upgrade so I had to downgrade back to SP1 (that PC is quite old, true, but it still matches the officially declared system requirements of SP3)
