Not sure if it's my lack of understanding of what you wrote or your
fractured english sentences.

Anyway, my guess is that you want to know if you can use the XP that
came with VPC with Boot Camp or Parallels.  Short and sweet--no.

1) it's not a full install version of XP, but an OEM version meant to
work only in VPC.

2) the license for the VPC version of XP restricts it's use to ONLY with
VPC.

You could attempt sell your version of VPC on eBay to try and recover
costs if you'd had it a while.  If you just bought it, I heard that
Microsoft has a 30-day return policy on VPC.

If you're mean some other 'useless waste of a program' than XP itself
(what's tasteless fruit, anyway?), then I hear Parllels offers an import
feature to read the VPC virtual disks.

"tasteless fruit" was a 70's Eastern European porno movie.
