VGA port: Is it an input?

Question

I have an Inspiron E1405. On the right-hand side of the notebook, there is a VGA port. I assume this is intended to be used as an output to an external monitor. Can I use it as an input? Can I take a new desktop that has a DVI out on the video card and connect it using an adapter and use the screen? My comp runs on Windows XP SP2.

It's an output. For input, you'll need to purchase a USB or Express Card capture device.
