Can Fusion convert Virtual PC images?

Anyone know? If not, I could always use the Windows version of vmware to convert it, then use that with Fusion, right?

Are you interested in conversion from VPC for Windows, or VPC for Mac OS (Power PC)? Do you know if they use the same virtual disk format and the same virtual machine description format?

VPC for Windows. Not sure if they use the same format.

Yeah, you can use Workstation or even Player for Windows to convert the VPC VM, then bring it over to your Mac and it'll work in Fusion.

If already have a Windows VM, you should be able to use stand-alone Importer or Converter with a mapped drive of your OS X disk containing your VPC VHD. I plan to do this with a dormant VHD I've had around from my Powerbook soon. I'll let you know how it goes.
