Windows Virtual PC is a great feature of Windows 7, but unfortunately Microsoft did not consider to provide any Group Policy settings to control the use of it. In an enterprise or small business environment you might want to do the following:

Completely restrict the use of Windows Virtual PC (even if users have local administrative rights and can enable the feature)
Prevent the creation of additional Virtual machines other than the one you prepared for them such as an XPMode VM
