To quote to the blog above:

Why are you giving Virtual PC away for free?
Microsoft views virtualization as a tool. Virtual PC is used for a number of reasons, but the primary reasons are for development and test scenarios and application compatibility. We already provide Virtual PC as part of MSDN for development and test users, and given that all our other application compatibility tools are free - charging for Virtual PC did not make much sense.

[Edit] I see the post about it being just SP1 has been deleted....

I thought it could run on mac?
Years ago we mentioned this to customers to make use of windowssoftware on a mac.
Isn't this the case anymore?
