Yes, it's free. See
<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/virtual-pc-2007.aspx>
for the version appropriate for Windows XP.

Also note that while the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/oYA9> refers to
Windows 2000, it is applicable to any version of Windows that can run
Cygwin <http://www.cygwin.com/>. Also, the Windows box I referred to in
my reply at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2011-August/072150.html>
is Windows XP, SP3 running Cygwin with Cygwin packages for Apache and
Exim, and Python and Mailman installed from source although the Cygwin
packageed Python should be fine.
